A day cutting wood

WDH and customsawyer.
If you built a sawmill shed it would not be like my chicken house.

Cutting some W Pine today, Some logs are just nice.


  

 
With no knots, That's a 12"x12"x16'6"

Outher logs had some 1'x12"x8'x6".


 

Have a few more to do, and stick some lumber before Friday when the snow comes.
It's a pain then blocking and lumber disappears in the snow.
:christmas:

[WDH]

Some of the best white pine that I have seen.

[69bronco]

White Pine don't come no prettier than that!

[Bruno of NH]

That's some nice wood

[78NHTFY]

Not naughty at all, that's nice!  Peter, if that's for your own stock, do you keep separate and sell as premium product $?

Nice day today, and got a late start,


  

 
Use my laser level and cut off the tops of the posts. I had some 4"x12"x24' and 2"x12"24' lumber laying around and used that.


  

 
I put some grease on the bigger lag bolts,
I didn't have a 32' timber around so I cut a R Oak from out in my woods.


  

 
The cat has a tilt on the body and forks.


  

 
Makes it easy to move the timbers sideways,


 
Can put the timber where ever I want it.


  

 
Bad pix, But started down the back side.
Should have been done today, But, at 63 I'm not as fast as I used to be. :D :D ;D

At 68 I'm not fast, I'm half fast

[Peter Drouin]

78NHTFY, I try to sell it, But, No one want's it at $1.50 to $2.00  BF. I have a pallet full I set to one side.
Maybe if I kiln dry it. I only make 5/600 bf of o knot stuff a year out of all the pine I cut.
But i'm not sawing for it, The customers I have are looking for #2 com. So I just hammer out 1" lumber in Pine.
:christmas:

[Peter Drouin]

½ fast, Jjoness4,  :D :D :D :D

[Chuck White]

At 68 I'm not fast, I'm half fast

Now, say that quickly three times!   ;D

[newoodguy78]

Not without ending up in the woodshed you wouldn't  :D

[Darrel]

At 68 I'm not fast, I'm half fast

I have a grandson (I love him dearly) who at this stage in his life is "half fast".  He's 13.

Logs in the snow, I was hoping he would come yesterday when the sun was out.
More work now, had to pile them.


  

 

[WDH]

So much glaciation.

[YellowHammer]

So much for global warming. :

[DPatton]

Peter,

Them logs may be hard to find tomorrow, with the snow thats headded you way tonight.

[Peter Drouin]

The cat WILL find them. :D

[WDH]

Be careful.  We don't want to lose you in the glaciers. 

[thecfarm]

The CAT will find him.

[Sixacresand]

I will be milling some pine or sweet gum today to get some 3/4 X 8's for vertical siding and doors for a yard building.  If I go with the gum,  I will need to nail it ASAP to minimize warping. And as it dries, the gaps between the boards will be wider, but that is not an issue. 

[WDH]

John,

Don't take your eye off that sweetgum or turn your back on it  :D.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

John,

Don't take your eye off that sweetgum or turn your back on it  :D.

If you do turn your back it will come around and look you in the eye.  :D

[WDH]

 :D :D :D

Yes.
