Title: huge southern yellow pine
Post by: mandolin on October 01, 2011, 05:28:41 PM
Well, fellers, I sawed the biggest log I have ever sawed today. My brother cut a pine next to his yard that was 42 inches at the butt. I sawed the butt log today, all in 5/4. I wound up with 5 19 inch boards, 6-14 inch, and 10 12-inch. No knots anywhere.  I already got it loaded in my dry kiln. I got the rest of the logs in my log yard and will saw them up when I get back from vacation in Gatlinburg.
