Well, first day has passed, we had two of the saws running - one with an inexperienced crew.  They still managed to cut 1,500 BF.  8)

The really good news is it seems that it is clear, lots of heartwood.  ;D This, I was not expecting. Usually, these plantations are not well cared for, so there are knots and defects. Not this time.

Time to change my estimates on profits...  8)

We had cut a few examples before, and all were pretty much clear, but we figured that was a fluke. Now, after 1,500 BF, I am thinking it isn't a fluke.

I wish I was still out building the equipment versus selling it. Some days are extremely slow when calls arent steadily coming in. I do manage to sneak out occasionally and wrench on a machine to pass the time.
