After seeing the pics of the first tree I milled up, my 2 brothers were interested in seeing how it was done. I dropped a standing dead swamp oak(?) and cut it into 3 logs. We agreed on today to meet and mill up some boards. My youngest brother caught a bug and couldn't make it but we got some milling done anyway.
Here is the tree standing next to my 16" ms361.

Got her down and cut in 9'6" logs, the longest my rails will fit.
