Forestry and Logging / Re: Hack and Squirt for pines
Last post by Magicman - Today at 02:18:19 PMQuote from: Andries on Today at 09:36:54 AMIs that a new record; three posts and gone?No, he had 106 posts and had been here since Nov 30, 2015. Certainly experienced enough to know that topic drift is the normal here. Topics tend to drift along, go to food, and then find their way back to the original subject. I have gleaned much from the drift, sometime more than the original subject.
He actually may have set a record with the number of times (4) directing the responders to stay on "his" subject, and even doing so with bold letters.
I would expect a spanking.

Forestry and Logging / Re: Hack and Squirt for pines
Last post by Texas Ranger - Today at 02:14:07 PMIn his wisdom only "one or two whacks" is necessary for control on a 18-inch dbh pine, Humm, we did a whack with a hypo Hatchet for every one-inch radius. But this is Texas, maybe he has a larger hatchet/ax. But I doubt it.

Sawmills and Milling / Re: Best log yield?
Last post by barbender - Today at 01:02:22 PMWhen I was in grade school, there was a bookseries called "Which Way Books". You'd read along in the story, and come to a spot where you had to make a decision. You turned to a specific page based on your decision, which led to more decisions. All of those decisions contributed to what ending you got.
Sawing a log is much the same😊
If your cut list only includes wide 2x material, you're going to have more waste than if you can utilize some 1x or narrower 2x off the outside.

Last post by barbender - Today at 12:55:43 PMThe butt log is what people can reach. It's very rare to find metal above the first log.

General Board / Re: Deer flys
Last post by Cedarman - Today at 12:55:09 PMI would sincerely like to thank all of you that are keeping the deer flies in your area. So far this year, I have not had a single one buzzing my head as I walk down the tree lined road for 3/4 miles.
I can remember years past when there would be quite a few buzzing. They would get in my hair and I would kill them.
Also, no mosquitoes or black flies. Luckily we are not in black fly territory.
But, I can send you quite a few ticks and chiggers if you are running a little short.
Again, a big thank you.

Last post by jpassardi - Today at 12:27:28 PMQuote from: Bruno of NH on Yesterday at 05:36:51 PMIt's funny how the nice clear pine logs get the most nails in them.Very true Bruno - shame that the best logs (butt) are where people put metal...
A nice 30" butt log , 5 nails and one piece of plumbing strap. Still got many nice 8ft 1x12. Cut off the hardware and got 7ft .
The pine is selling right now

Last post by beenthere - Today at 11:05:19 AMJeff summed it up very well. A new decision and result can happen after exposure following every saw cut.
