I need some yard dunnage to lay logs on for scaling so I decided to thin out some more dead cottonwoods. It's also good practice learning how to run the mill and portion out the log.

Dunnage is much too respectable for cottonwood... ;) :D

Here is the stump that log came off, probably has something to do with it. The tree was dead and threatening a power line so it had to come down.

It's also much less painful when I misjudge the sweep/crook in a log and ruin the chance of getting a good size cant out of it. It's all good practice, 26.5 hrs and counting. hoping not to wear the lt40 out before fall. :)
