That would be more like $3.15 on the left coast.  Now if you were producing a wood product with that cherry you could earn a lot more.  One of my customers has finally convinced me to do just that; he has shown me how my earnings per bf would go up a hundred fold.  He did this by comparing what he pays me for the cutting versus how much he receives from the wood products he makes.

Scrag is a good idea, don't know how much capital you would spend setting all those machines up, but the rate would be impressive.   Just think how fast you would need to feed that beast; a log every 6-10 seconds?
  Needs lots of support equipment log decks log roller green chain convyer to keep the edgeing boards clear etc. I will have to learn how to add pictures on here and post pictures as I put the scragg mill togther etc.

macpower,good to see posting. That Thomas still treating you good?
Don't get as much saw time as I would like, but the mill is running great.
Talked to John Thomas at the Common Ground Fair, (he had the booth next to us), says they are working on a power feed and set works that will retro fit. Also the debarker is on my want list.
