First cuts,bug kill Blue Pine.

First load off the hill.

Decided to bring the logs to the saw.

Snowed out for the winter,my dad and his dad built this cabin in 1952.

So I built some badly needed,yet strongly suggested "Wood Doc" pallets.

And then of course the signature virgin woodworking prodject.
You got it,picture frames.

Looks good, but that's a lot of work for a picture frame.
Interesting frames you make.
What's all the lumber being used for?
I use most of it for building and Log siding.Alot of slabs fly out of here,and I have a shaper with a powerfeed that I make t&g.
Keep in mind I have a good day job...Oh and the knothole frame is set to have a Rattlesnake slithering through,with its demise in the picture
Congratulations on the new mill! 8)
Nice work.How did you get that log in the cattle trailer.I have had to drag some hard headed cows in one but never a log.
Slider,I mounted a winch up in the deck.And for the second row I slide a big board between the rails in the back.Get them up and over then drag them like stray dogs to the front............
I grew up in central Cal where are you at? I spent a lot of time in the hills above Fresno. The cabin with snow picture reminds me of Shaver or Dinky Creek.

I did that "CSM leads to a Wood-Mizer" thing, only it took me 24 years to make the transition instead of 3 months :D.
You are right on it Gundog......

I did that too, took me probably 1-3 years, I can't remember, I wasn't keeping track!
I grew up in California's gold country a bit north of you. Grassvalley, Brownsville.
I have never dragged (drug) a stay dog. That dog will bite you.
WDH,so will a broken cable "Hence",named my son Spence,the Remote...........
As for the Wood-Mizer Adventure? I have been sick in bed for a couple weeks. So I wanted to research the cost of a bed extension for my mill. I e-mailed. Then a week or so later I e-mailed them again to ask if they were still in business and still supporting their owners. That was 2/18/17. This morning I finally got a return e-mail.
Never have been ignored by them before when trying to spend money. Should I be worried?
The 18th was Saturday not everyone's in on Saturday. Nobody's in on Sunday and Monday was a holiday. No, no need to worry.
Upper,
I laugh every time I see that log in the stock trailer.Gotta use what you have around, right.Sure hope you weren't smuggling something in that log.
Emailing is hit or miss with WM, more often than not they respond. I have had much better luck calling though.
