So a guy called me up today and said he had some logs he thought would be a shame to cut up and burn for firewood and asked if I would like to check them out.

I said sure, hopped in the car and took a ten minute ride to his camp, I get there and there is an assortment of oak, pine and hemlock logs.

I counted them up and there are 14 hemlock 18 pine, and 22 oak, the smallest of all the logs is a 22" piece of hemlock. The largest is a 43" (small end) oak all are cut 9' long which is perfect for me n my mill.

Guy only wants $100 for them all and 2-3 pine slabs.

I couldn't give him the 100 fast enough lol.

Now to find someone to haul them over for me so I can begin having some fun.

Nice score.  I guess no matter what size sawmill you have, you will try a "too big" log.  I did this week and won....finally.   ;D

And with a large chainsaw and bar it is easily done.
