Studies have shown that they can use less salt by pretreating with brine, as it does help keep ice from forming in the first place. It also creates greasy spots on an otherwise dry road (usually at intersections) that you weren't expecting.

Quite often my fingers do not know what my mind is thinking and then my mind often does not know what it is thinking either.  :uhoh:

Lynn it happens, just like my initial thought that you read it as pre-heat.  Me and my fat head...

Pretreating with brine keeps ice and snow from accumulating early on in a snow or ice event. It's common in places where small accumulation is expected.  

Most times dries pretty quickly here.  I'm sure other places where people have to drive in the brine /melt water it's hades on vehicles.

Quote from: quilbilly on Today at 12:20:50 PMOne of the differences I think is on a conventional cut for a veneer log y'all have an extremely shallow face, so the face doesn't enter into the "cylinder" of the other end and doesn't count as deduct.

Our red alder will typically split and pull with such a shallow face so we go as deep as we can many times. In looking at cuts on the what are you cutting page, we often just go deeper so the hinge is much closer to the middle of the tree and not so close to the outside.
95% of I got have taper definitely not super great quality, but since that is, knowing you'll only get out of the log the size of the smallest end, the material the notch took would have mostly  been wasted material anyway

Thanks, Skeans.  You have been a great FF friend and put up with a slightly more than hobby logger from Kansas.  that makes sense.  
Nealm, I do not think you are coming off bad.  you may occ. hear my ED humor come through and I occasionally offend a few.  My thought is you can talk it over with your peers (using known to you language), and the rest of us learn nothing.  Part of this forum is to help those of us without the experience and no mentors to learn from.  thanks for the additional explanation, Gents (no offense intended).   :thumbsup: :usa: ffsmiley
