Backyard logging

Took down some bigger trees for a friend who’s going to make lumber out of them. Kinda cool so I thought I’d share some pics of the progress

Gorgeous saw logs, should make quite a bit of nice lumber.

Ya, they only sent me a couple pics. I’ll try to get some more when I start milling. They bought a 22” bandsaw setup for the smaller stuff

Are they using some sort of alaskan mill for the big pieces? 22" is about the biggest my mill can reasonably handle.

I’m going to bring my Alaska mill over for the bigger logs. I’ll have to use my 6’ mill on a couple of the butt cuts. They were pretty good size. I’ll definitely try to get some pics. I’ll just cut cants and let him finish with the bandsaw for less waste. 5 trees total so definitely a lot of boards. I just wish I had more time. I’ll probably get him setup and show how and let him have at it cus I just don’t have the time.

These guys are so fun to watch. Like bees to honey when a tree hits the ground.
