I finished up another hemlock log today (five boards milled) with one left from this tree that needs to be finished. So far since milling we have over 543 board feet milled, attached are some pictures.

Not sure about the aspen but know the other two will be good. All most have the chix coop ready. 4 slabs just on the front. Sides are shed plywood.

Good deal, how many are you starting with?

You are way ahead of me, you are giving that 660 a workout, I see you are getting some up on rounds, that makes it easier on the back. I have found the left over pieces make great benches. I put a couple around the firepit.
