Hello everyone...

Was wondering if there are any swing mills located in the northern MO area?  I hope so as I had a gentelman approach me today to take three red oak trees down out of his pasture.  The smallest being 48" and the biggest being 63" in diamater.  All of them seem fairly solid and still alive.  So I am either going to have slab the sides of them before I put them up on my MD or find someone with a swinger to help me out.  Here's hoping ...

MD has a method of cutting the larger logs using a blocking system bolted to the end of the log.  Picture on their web site.  20 years ago I used that method to cut a 70" fir.  You might need some parts like different end shoes and lumber guages.  Check with MD.
