Wigwam burners? Just another variation of teepee.
Last time I was through there it was still standing.There was one out near Oakville standing not too long ago. I wonder if it's still there?

I've heard all of those names but just can't put my finger (brain) on it. Old age I guess.
Randy, if you look at this thread there's one as you head down the river from Weitchpec a few miles above the road all grown up with alders. Do you know the one?
Where are they getting meat like that to cut? Has to be some piece of old private ground. It'd take an act of congress to get the FS to let loose of a tree like that. I'd love to see some of the lumber from a clear piece like that. I wonder if the county building codes would let anyone build from some clear piece like that. They would probably require it to be some laminated beam. Beautiful log. Get some more pics.Here is a picture of a picture that I took with my phone. This is from the "old mill" (26' and shorter, single cut). The particular log in the photo should have been quartered but somebody had already got it in the cradle to feed the debarker and they had no way of getting it back out to the pond. If you look close you can see how much bigger the log is than the cutting region of the bandmill. The Sawyer had to cut a little off and roll it back, cut a little more, roll it back (you get the idea) to make it fit under the saw guide. That is why the log looks like it is being sawn so weird. We used to cut a decent amount of 12" clear and while the picture isn't the clearest, it looks as though it may be a peeler...
