Chuck White · January 09, 2015, 08:18:54 AM

Very nice bunch of Pine!

drobertson · January 09, 2015, 11:21:33 AM

I've got spruce....
I've got pine . . .
. . . but haven't heard of both in one log.

Andries · January 09, 2015, 11:37:01 AM

Not trying to smart - that's just a new one for me.
I consider WDH one of the Wood ID Experts on the Forum - darn near CSI worthy!

drobertson · January 09, 2015, 11:52:25 AM

Agree with the CSI on that one! its the whitish colors on the bark that are throwing me, and the relative thinness of the bark, If indeed it's SYP. I have to bet it is a tight growth growing lot. Just not much of a colored heart from viewing the photos.

Your lucky day.

Pinus glabra.. spruce pine ....... Hmmm. Is this a new way to link?

Got some more done today. So far we have 91 logs most are 16'.

yarnammurt · January 09, 2015, 05:04:28 PM

The big stack up beside the tree is over 7' tall. We are only going down to a 12" top. A lot of them are 24" or bigger. And Yes It is SYP. I counted rings and the youngest one is 56yo and one was 72yo.

yarnammurt · January 09, 2015, 05:12:11 PM

The second load scaled at 1745bf 8)

WDH · January 09, 2015, 08:12:16 PM

Very nice logs. I cut some nice ones too, today.

drobertson · January 09, 2015, 08:16:41 PM

Oh yea! looking like SYP for sure now! go figure the pictures aye? let us know how it goes now,, happy for you, nice stack of work for sure,

Delawhere Jack · January 09, 2015, 08:22:52 PM

Congrats Yarn, those logs should make for some really good milling!

Nice batch of logs 8)
Quality logs make quality lumber.
Always nice to pull up and find a whack of logs like yours to mill ;D

Nomad · January 10, 2015, 06:31:43 AM

Them logs look a lot nicer than the zillion ratty, dirty little poles I'm working on right now! :

Peter Drouin · January 10, 2015, 06:51:01 AM

Nice logs like that are a dream to cut. 8) 8) 8) 8)

yarnammurt · January 11, 2015, 10:58:11 AM

Ok so it looks like most of it is going to be 8x8's and 2x lumber. cutting a timber log home kit. 8x8 walls and 2x decking, should go good. I still have 60+ logs to get and bring to the house. It will put it over 150 logs. I will get more pics this week of the stack. When you stack 24-30" logs you make a mountain of wood.
