I do believe that Douglas fir is one of the prettier evergreens.



Edited, is the grade a little less steep now? :D

Well look at it this way, you wouldn't need much for wedges and they won't have far to fall  :).  That is a nice picture Darrell.

That is a new way of "laying them straight".  No skidding necessary, just drive the log truck under them and whack um off.

I agree completely.

And the rest of you guys, quit making fun of Darrel. The mountains here in the West are steep.

Musta been wilted.  Hey, those are some very nice looking trees/logs.  I can see a Wood-Mizer under some of them making lumber.   :)

Start at the top and run fast when you cut the last tree!

No, at the rest stop for north bound Interstate 5 just south of Portland.

Clearly those trees are defective, they have the sideways disease. I'm feeling generous today so if you want to whack them and send them to me I'll send you some quality balsam fir in exchange.  ;D

Douglas-fir is a nice tree. I saw some big ones last summer for the first time.

rjwoelk

Yup I have seen those trees at the rest stop, I just sit there and drool,

Darrel

Here is what I learned.

1 You can't take a picture in portrait with an iPhone without it being sideways on the forum.

2 sideways or upside down pictures are difficult to fix from the iPhone because they are right side up on said iPhone.  So while what Jeff says is true and will work, as stated earlier, it's hard to fix what allready looks right on iPhone.

3 don't bother trying to fix it because Jeff has already fixed it and the only thing accompanied will be that Jeff's hard work will be undone.

4 there is no way to tell from an iPhone that said picture has already been fixed.

My advice:  Upload pictures to your computer before uploading to Forestry Forum. This eliminates a whole lot of frustration.

The only problem I see is that if they were around here some dufus would try to wedge them uphill.
If I had one of those logs show up at the mill, I would wonder why the pith was one inch from the bark on one side and 4' from the other.

No, the pith would be 4 inches from one side and 20 inches from the other, just as a matter of prospective.
