I need a 8x12 by 40' long white pine beam for a lean-to. I thought I would cut two 21 footers and use a scarf joint to join together. I just dropped a beautiful pine tree with the top broken that would easily give me a 40' beam without any scarf necessary. I usually use an aluminum 20' ladder for my longer logs. I was just wondering if there are any tricks or ideas if trying to mill a 40' logs. I was wondering if I could somehow connect the two 20" extensions to make a 40" straight guide? Thanks in advance
