From the bark, I assume that those logs are Redwood ??? How does it saw? Hard, soft?

Nice pics. Let's see them opened up!

I would love to have some of that red wood here. I can only imagine what it must sell for. that stuff will last forever. or pretty close. Happy for you, stay safe! david

Nice setup! The Lucas loves those big logs. Roll them in and start pulling boards for the next 2 hours. Judging by the fact the rails are all the way up, I'd say the butt on that big one is over 4' in diameter?

Yes Magic they are Redwood and saw very easy (soft wood but lasts 50 to 100 years and longer) I'll op[en them this week.

Looks to me like you got a couple pictures of them up at the top of your original post. I don't think they were there before, showing the fresh-sawn lumber!

Hey, don't let those hippies get to you, just tell them, every time you mill, you mill green lumber! :D :D :D
