Logs to drool over!

[JSwigga]

I have this  log..umm I mean... Hickory.  I don't know if I should drool or start crying because of the whoopin my chains are gonna take.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

WOW....that 's one of those New Jersey Blue End Hickory's.
I haven't seen one of those in a while.

Fortunately the big ones like that behave a little better than the small ones as far as tension is concerned.  Hope your blades are sharp!

That walnut is gorgeous  8).

As you know we are famous for our New Jersey Devil.  Many people thought it was a devil in the traditional sense of the word.  We all know what the real devil is!

Let's see it cut up. ;D

[JustinW_NZ]

Just did this yesterday



Old man pine log someone had slabbed with a chainsaw mill, meant I could fit it on the WM - JUST.
Tractor couldn't lift it, the mill could lift it, but not turn it, but together we got there!?
6.0m long and as wide as the log clamp would  just allow.
Very similar heartwood to what Okrafarmer posted up above, I didn't take a picture  :(

And something different


New Zealand manuka which is a native tree that establishes an area but doesn't get very big, letting the larger native trees establish in shelter.
Thought It was very pretty freshly cut like that.

Cheers

Really nice....

Jswigga... Begin crying.  

[Okrafarmer]

Justin, is that manuka in the juniper family? It resembles our eastern red cedar (ERC).

[Okrafarmer]

Justin, are you running with your blade guard off? I was until I got my band wheel fixed. It was put on backward by someone who was desperate to get it to track with the drive band wheel, which was also off track. My dad and I got it all changed back around, with some help from Pineywoods over the phone. That man should consider getting a 900 number so he can profit from all the good advice he has to offer!

It's an evergreen hardwood. Only ever grows into a small tree, but grows pretty much any place.

Usually used for firewood, smoking wood and the honey from it is very good. The wood is very hard and strong, but it's hard to find a log more than 6" dia.

There are some fancier flowering varieties that are sold as garden plants too.

Blue Mahoe  smiley_clapping I got more but still working out the kinks to change all of the files to an acceptable format. Seem odd to me that we cant upload a jpeg?

You can, but you need to use the photo gallery feature, not attachments.

I'm running with the cover/s (idle and center) off yes, only because I don't have them and the NZ woodmizer agent seems to be taking AGES to get me new ones.

I ran at a show a little while ago and just borrowed covers from another mill locally, and The NZ agent had a spare drive side cover, but yes, must chase that up as I do hate having to make sure people are clear and not in front when I'm milling away...

Nice timber Rob Bocik?! very nice!

  Make up some plywood covers paint them and be done with it... ;)

Just got a couple loads [fifth wheel] of western red cedar utility ploes for free. Got 6  - 55 foot WRC poles that were only butt treated so I hope to get somenice boards from these - checks are pretty straight and not to deep except for one deep one per log.  Tom

I was drooling today!  A customer brought over a big spalted maple trunk that had figure in also. He got some nice 2" and 3" slabs.

  

 

[WDH]

Wow,

Two birds with one stone. 

[Okrafarmer]

Very nice! My phone camera's no good these days so I haven't taken many pictures. Trying to use my digital cam, but I keep forgetting to take it with. We did some really nifty mulberry and maple this past week.

[mesquite buckeye]

Pretty neat. ;D

[dboyt]

It's got to be real hard watching a customer haul away boards like that.

If that pecky cypress is so valuable, maybe I'll find a market for pecky oak.  This came off a friend's sawmill.

[barbender]

Lots of nice logs and lumber ;)

Hard maple. 

[WDH]

Wow!
