Here's a fair poplar I cut this morning, there's 2 or 3 more below it.... Man I love cuttin poplar lol

 

[Easttnlogger1]

A decent northern red oak I cut a few days ago... Put a bore cut on this one it was a pretty bad leaner, u can see how the butt is a bit crooked up in the air..

 

[Easttnlogger1]

Another northern red oak, this one was a pretty nice tree, not huge but kept its size.

Here's a pretty good white oak, not perfect but pretty nice... Well that's about all I got worth showin y'all right now lol.. Try to take some more pics this week if I think of it

the white oak looks to have shake? or is it stain?

Who built the first portable gasoline powered chain saw???

Looks like it has a big seam higher up

 

[Easttnlogger1]

That seam is from lightning, I forgot to add that when I posted the pic sorry guys.. It didnt really have shake It was just colored that way. Idk if the lighting had anything to do with it or not.

Alot of the chestnut oak from this job has bad shake but most of the red oak an white oak ain't been to bad so far

Yeah oak has been doin good here to.. The vaneer buyer paid $1.50 pbf for tht white oak even with that big lighting streak in it... Chestnut oak is bringing good if its big enough to make quarter saw

We been in some good timber for a while. The job I was on before this one was really good as good as it gets around here. Had some really red oak and chestnut oak... One red oak I can remember had 1600 feet in the butt log. But it was steep as hell guess that's why it hadn been logged

 

[1270d]

I would love to see that 1600 ft oak log

 

[treeslayer2003]

etl, what do you call chestnut oak? different regions have different names for trees.

 

[Easttnlogger1]

I would love to see that 1600 ft oak log

I don't have a pic of that particular log I don't think. There was a red oak that had up rooted ive got a pic of ill post. I think it had around 1500 ft In a 16 ft log

 

[Easttnlogger1]

Here's the red oak that had up rooted. It had a 16 ft butt it was 40 inches or so at the tip... I know its odd that I don't have a pic of that big log lol I didn't take one for some odd reason but its a true story... It was about the same size as this one just a lil bigger

 

[treeslayer2003]

yer makin me want to move to Tn. lol.

 

[Easttnlogger1]

Lol there ain't much timber like that around here. If there is any its so steep nobody has wanted to cut it.

Ill try to take a pic of a chestnut oak tomorrow, idk how to explain it all ive ever heard them called is a chestnut oak.

How big is that poplar? It's a good one
