Bed liners loves lumber. Or should I say lumber hates bed liners. Jumps right out. When I was much younger, I was hauling some boards from the mill with my tail gate down. I believe I had them roped in, but taking off from a stop sign, half the boards jumped out. Took me only a minute to pick up, but the lady behind me had a tizzy waiting on me......Personally a couple standard 2" ratchet straps would hold a log that size no problem. I would use them on the boards too. I would go over the top as you would the log, then under the boards(I'd have them on top of a couple pieces of dunnage), then back over the top, this will squeeze the boards together and hold down pressure on them......
Great pics.Did some trail clearing today. We'll come back for the firewood later.
Found that saw case at a yard sale last summer for $2. Fits right in my milk crate.
I lost a mattress ou the back of an S10 like that, I got out and was about to grab ahold of it and a guy drives right over the corner .Bed liners loves lumber.

Reminds me of a similar story of me as a young buck picking up sheets of MDF in the bosses truck. Took off from a stoplight and most of them ended up on the street. Turns out that stuff is pretty slippery. Probably didn't help that it was a 460 transplanted in a lifted F250 (edit - it was heavy duty now that I think of it.) I forgot the year now but it had the fuel tank in the cab behind the seat - I want to say it was a '76 but it may have been a few years earlier. Fun truck. I tie down loads now...Bed liners loves lumber. Or should I say lumber hates bed liners. Jumps right out. When I was much younger, I was hauling some boards from the mill with my tail gate down.

I've had things slide around never came out but the tailgate was up . I only went about 1/4 mile with this load. I had already taken off the strapsBed liners loves lumber.

I'm in witness protection, that's why there's never any pics or footage of me.Great pics.
Next you need to teach junior to take videos for you, then everyone can give you a hard time about safety gear and tell you how dull your chains are .
Nice lumber, looks pretty clear. First thought is Red or White Oak? You guys with stacks of lumber, you've got to show me some of the boards. It's the only way I can get my milling fix. I don't have a mill and I lost my source of potential logs. So sadly, this is it.I've had things slide around never came out but the tailgate was up . I only went about 1/4 mile with this load.

In the movies, They DO always ship them off to MontanaI'm in witness protection, that's why there's never any pics or footage of me.
Oak and hickory mostly . One maple too. Couple of the hickory had some punk but overall they were solid. Last two were from spring hickory might have let it sit to long when we did them in DecemberNice lumber, looks pretty clear. First thought is Red or White Oak?

1" space between the boards and then dry 1" x 1" stickers every 18"
Yep you get a half link tighter by tightening the chain one link on the portion that's wrapped around and back onto itself.
Just one link tighter here is half a link at the snap binder.
If you twist the chain it will tighten it at the bider, but you run the risk of creating a kink that could come loose down the rd, ask me how I know
Oh no. I never need many nowadays, so I just cut mine from the 2x4 runners of hardwood pallets. You could just have your sawyer cut some stickers out of the 2nds lumber. He should know what to do. Now if you're having it sawn up in only flitches (natural edge) then that can't be done. But then you said for flooring, so some of the outer layers should generate some stickers. They should dry pretty fast so they should be ok to use. And there's always the debate whether they should be hardwood or softwood and wet (green) or dry. I think the fear is sticker stain/mold that might occur when green stickers or softwoods are used. Some that I've heard prefer pine. So I guess you could cut your own from 2x4s on a table saw. Composite stickers can be purchased, but they're pricey.Is this something carried at hardware stores? Lumber yards?
