I thought I should start another post as the first will get much too long.
The logs arrived today on Earl Houldens truck. Earl stated that the larger logs were about as big as he can handle. His grapple would not close over them and he had to lift them with a chain.
Here is the truck arriving at my place.
The truck is now in back of my property and is unloading the logs.
The truck looks a little different with all of that wood off.
Here they are on the ground. That's me with my youngest son, Leith. He likes big trucks!
Before Earl backed out, he loaded his trailer on the truck.
The day was drawing to a close but the sun was still shining on the mountain. Here is why we are called "High Mountain Tonewood Company". I can think of no better place to process these fine logs into hand split billets.
On Saturday the logs will be scaled (volume measured) and then I will start to process them. I will post pictures and a desription of the scaling process and then show how I process these logs into split billets and eventually into tops from the saw.
Please enjoy!
