Biting off more than you can chew...

Lil's cousin has just moved to a new house out in the country, 6 acres, couple of paddocks, a pond and some trees.
They knew I had a portable mill and asked if I was interested in sawing some of the trees.
OK.. I'll have a look  
The trees in question are Macrocarpa cypress and Bishop pine.. real old ones. The bigger pine are at least 5ft dbh, the Macs are more like 6 ft  
I'm thinking I will get a local online mate involved in this as it's more logs than I am going to be able to handle.

Like a 5ft dia log 12ft long is a lot of Bf  

Owner is having the trees removed no matter what, he just wants to recover some of the cost by selling the logs.

I will post pics of my Peterson or Bob's Lucas maxed out on these logs  ;)


One way to spend your Christmas holidays  :D

To bad it would cost 4 grand for tammy and I to come and watch in person or we would. Tammy could be of great help. ;D

I think the Forestry Forum needs a jet air plane then these little field trips wouldn't be a problem. It could also double as a taxi to the piggy roast.

Most definately looking forward to the pics of you falling those monsters, positioning the logs and making sawdust.  I bet it takes you a day or two to complete the job. :D
