Quote from: WhitePineJunky on Yesterday at 07:21:27 AMSorry I should have also added I'm considering these cuts on flat landSome places in the world a square butt will be required by the mill otherwise you will see deduction in the log or sometimes it becomes a no pay log in this scenario you will see a lot of either style of Humboldt stump. I've seen in contracts the requirement for all stump to be done with a Humboldt face so all the waste is left in the brush without having to long butt the log to clean up the face. Most time when doing a modified Humboldt the face will be in the dirt on a large fir or cedar to the point you're digging around to clear enough area to swing the saw to far side of the face to line up the cut.
Humbolt definitely wins the slopes
I just found it strange how I've never seen a dispute toward that humbolt claiming more wood than conventional
I can't imagine all of them were cutting on slopes
Quote from: Magicman on Yesterday at 07:16:12 PMThis situation ain't normal.If you think about it outside of just the logs and lumber it's perfectly normal. Far too many react in this exact same way when faced with such a situation. Prices get suppressed when supply out paces demand - what happens in the cattle world when milk or beef prices drop? Guys go out and produce more milk and more cattle because they are getting less per unit, so they figure they can make up the difference when in reality they are only loosing more, faster. Big mills saw more lumber when commodity prices drop, right up until the day they are broke anyway. Throwing good money after bad - been there and done that, it's easy to fall into.
