Title: Got a pretty good Pecan in today.
Post by: POSTON WIDEHEAD on September 27, 2013, 08:34:17 PM
I had a new tree service guy who pulled into the mill today. He asked if he could dump his trees on the farm when he had a load from working in my area. I said SURE.

This was his first load, the whole DanG Pecan tree. Every time I see a Pecan tree....I think of "You Know Who".  :D

I'll live edge slab it. 28 inch log. Lots of extras. 2 loads of Pine coming tomorrow. Seems like a good guy....so far.  :)

A good assortment of logs,some long,some short,some big,some small,some knotty,some clear,some good ones,some bad ones.  :D
I would like to have someone drop off logs here. I don't know how many would get sawed into lumber. I have an idea they would keep me warm though.

POSTON: That sure is nice to have logs dumped like that. I 'm going to have to get the word out that I would like to have some. Don't have much of that going on around here. I saw burn pile in my travels today with whole trees bulldozed, kind of made me want to cry.

Jake is SO RIGHT. I will save the scraps, dry them and use them for smoking.

I might be able to be wedged out of my chair to attend a "Pecan Project #1"... oh, but wait... I saw that at the "Sycamore Project #2" When Jake sliced up a HUGE pecan log with his LT70 like it was a piece of pine!  Beautiful wood too!

I'd like to see your place someday David...  SC is a pretty state!
