Thursday I ran out of stickers which seems to be an ongoing dilema.  ;) So, Friday I demoted a couple of logs for the required necessity. Cut about 120 - 8 footers and proceeded to stack them as last time I didn't and the mold took over quickly. Summertime in Georgia. Hot and humid!

 


 

Then, I started reading I read Magic's thread "Portable Sawmilling" and the precise stickering requirements of some of our fellow sawyers (I won't mention names) and decided the best thing for my stickers would be the royal treatment... So here it is...

Hmmm? 8' stickers, but hope you are not making 8' wide air dry piles.  May be why you are getting mold, if so.

For clarification, the 8' stickers were downsized to 4 footers as they were stacked and stickered. The last photos reflect that. Sorry for the confusion.

Red Oaks, the bottom support is a plastic pallet  37" x 47" with 3 supports. The middle one is centered. I stuck the stickers relative to those supports with one extra between them.

and you stopped at two logs why? ;D
Now that you have everything set up put another dozen logs in front of the mill and make a big batch so you don't have to resetup later ;)

Nicely done ;)

I rarely have luck getting stickers to dry straight. I found it better to cut boards, let them dry, then rip stickers. Also a great use for low grade lumber. Perhaps the Georgia heat will dry them faster and keep them straighter. Good luck.

Making more stickers is always on my to-do list. Sweet stickered stickers! Did you sticker the stickers that you sticked the stickers with?

Hackberry, I did sticker the stickers that are stuck in the sticker stack. Yes, I did!   :D :D

My stickers started disappearing about the time my wife decided they'd make good tomato stakes.  A good use for low-grade lumber.  I like your idea of putting them on a pallet.  That'll make it easy to move them to your lumber stacks.  Overall, I'm satisfied sawing sassafras, sycamore, and sweetgum for seasoned stacks of stickers.

It is hard but, it is possible to have too many.
We contracted to dress a larger sawmills 1x4 as their planer wouldn't keep up with their production. They said to band the stickers and they would send a truck when they slowed down a bit. 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, I called Joe a said "we have a row 100' long as high as the forklift can stack them. He said " I know, I know" 6 more months, nothing but another row. We wound up with 4 rows of 6' oak KD stickers. They finally told us they didn't want them, to sell them and split the money. They were a pine mill and had an oak flooring plant, with a huge kiln. They produced all the sticks they ever need. That is too many. Stickers in 5' round bundles are hard to handle with a forklift!

I take my lower grade lumber (that is dry) and rip it into stickers.  Drying individual green stickers has not worked very well for me either.  They seem to turn into twisted curly sticks.  :(
