This weekend I sawed for Mike in Windsor. Mike had about a half dozen pine logs sitting in his back yard, and a few more logs hidden in the weeds at the back of his property. He also had a large piece of equipment that moved logs around with no problem at all.
We got quite a bit of 1” material out of the pine, plus some 3”x5” pieces he wants to use as false beams. We started into one large log that Mike was sure was walnut but turned out to be hickory (I’m pretty sure). Mike had no interest in hickory, so we put that aside. Then we sawed some logs that really were walnut, and got some nice looking boards out of that. We ended up with an oak log which produced decent lumber that was a bit knotty. All in all, over 1,100 board feet of lumber, which should keep Mike busy for a while.
