Billy and I spent the week sawing big white pine logs for a local customer.  A log truck load of them. All 38" and 10' long. My new TYM T474H wouldn't lift them. We pulled them to the log deck and rolled them on the mill with the T474H. 
They made lots of 5/4 lumber.

Probably logs of big pine down that way. Always was when I was down to uncle's camp on the lake, mixed in with white and red oaks. No stain in it? Logs don't look real fresh.

You've got a good eye! Yeah, it's mostly big pine down there still a few oaks scattered around like you said. The logs aren't super fresh, no real stain in them yet, just weathered from sitting a while. Might've been down a season or two.

W. pine stains here fast. If cut in winter and left until June they will get blue stain all through it from ambrosia beetle galleries.

Surprising the big logs have hardly any stain or bug damage 
They have been down for over 2 years.
Hard to saw as they are so dry. Stellite tooth bands , the big knots are tough .
The lumber came out nice for the circumstances.

I had a lot of big EWP.
36 inches was no big deal.
There was a lot over 4 feet.
I still have some big ones but not many over 36 inches.
My Father and me cut a lot of them down.

They seem to be debarked. Maybe the bark fell off after 2 years.
