You have to bear in mind that is northern California[I assume],where the largest trees on the planet reside.I would imagine that a 24" tree is considered an ornamental shrub.dano said:Holy crap......you guys are dropping some seriously big wood.
I'm amazed and in awe..........
Well my favorite sawyer is on sabatical leave,so to speak.I am in the process of building a rubber tired bandsaw mill with a 34 hp Wisconsin engine for power.As a coincidence,I cut up a Ford escort yesterday to get the spindles and tires for the saw.I have the track section nearly done,and now am starting on the carriage assembly.[junk yard saw,ha.]jokers said:Al,
According to the Forestry Forum log weight calculator, that stick weighs nearly 13,000 #s.
Did you have a hard time finding a mill to take it?
