Title: YOU THINK YOU HAVE LOG YARD ISSUES!!!
Post by: Ironwood on June 24, 2006, 09:15:08 PM
First this is not my place! Check out this log yard. This is a haven for wood bugs and rot of all types. Unbelievable. I hope the pictures came out OK on the scan. I still can't believe the extent to which the logs/ slabs, ramble on and on. WOW. Wonder how many termite colonies this supports.

Listen Reid, if you ever came here, you would lose your mind.  I have three times that in my log yard and relish the critters.  I get more money for the boards, that way.  With the spalting taking place it value multipys even better. 8)

By the way, I still have the 6' Coastal Redwood burl, waiting for you to come and slab into tables. ;D

I have a pretty big slab pile myself, but Florida has a burn ban going on right now and I cant get rid of them. As soon as we get some decent rain, it will all go up in smoke :)

The solution for this site would be burning. The debis and logs go on for ......maybe 4 acres. It really is amazing.

I knew I would get your attention, Kevin.   Just cross my palm with silver and gold and ownership is hers.  hee hee hee haw

When is she coming out to pick it up?  It only weighs in at around 8 to 10  thousand  pounds.
