I have an 8'x12' bed I want to deck with 1" boards. I have an oval log 21" dia x 28" dia x 14'. Euc cracks and warps a lot. I have been advised to avoid the pith. I'm wondering what the best way to mill it is. Maybe boards on the narrower side will twist less? right now the truck has 7" wide apitong boards, breaking down. Planning to screw it down green.

I was walking to woods today and noticed my poplar stand is starting to die off/fall over. It's mostly an even age stand and there are lots of small hardwoods underneath ( Sugar maple, red maple, birch, also some softwoods).

Anyone know if these make good boards or lumber to sell? Trying to see what options I have to maybe offset the cost of removing these trees. Some are fairly big diameter.Read More

This area is very wet and would only be accessible in the winter .Read More

Anyone sawing in western WV/eastern KY/southern OH? Or know someone who is? I've been working with a larger mill in my area to source beams for my timber frame but they've started jerking me around.
