Hey Tom
That's it ,exactly,only set up for logs,THANKS...
I knew a lot of guys like that when I used to buy logs & blocks for a veneer co. A special kind of men, not many left.A lot of times those guys kept that mill in logs,yet they were always the first to be cut off ,it wasn't fair then, and it still aint.

I agree. A lot of young men were put through college on short-wood and a hard working Daddy. Since the mills have cut off the short wooder, Urban wood is ending up in the land-fill.
