New to the forum. I am semi retired(full retirement lasted 37 min) and love being in the woods and building cabins. Just started a 20 acre Cedar logging operation. Should get 3-400 logs from it. I have about 600 Cedar logs stockpiled now. I like Cedar. I will post my Iron inventory in the other post. Looking forward to meeting some of the other members that I see are close by.

again, welcome.  Yup, I'd like cedar too if I had that many ready to saw :D.  Or any, for that matter.  You'll get that profile info on there soon enough, but you can always tell us some more about yourself right here.  Retirement lasted 37 minutes huh?  Now thats a story we all want to hear. ;D

YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Be smarter than the sawdust

kcwoodbutcher I may do that. I do try to stay far from there though as much as possible haha! 

ozarkgem that's a nice area too. cedar abounds all around us. anyone is welcome at our place if your in the area. its not much but its a work in progress. I rarely leave our 30 acres. every day cut logs, mill logs, build stuff with the lumber. its a vicious circle.

Welcome to the forum, Ozarkgem!  I live 8 miles southeast of Neosho & run a Norwood mill.  Stop by any time.  Looking forward to photos.  To post them, you need to set up a gallery on FF.  Pretty straightforward process.
