In addition to my acres of privately-owned Alaska birch for firewood sales and flooring/trailer-deck boards, Ive added a state of Alaska timber sale for spruce saw logs.
I paid it off in full this summer. State extended my contract out to 2 years, at no charge. Really thoughtful, patriotic guys, them interior AK foresters. I had concerns that during days of fatigue I wouldn't be able to finish er off in one year, single handedly. So they really helped a disabled combat veteran get his foot in the door at a fair price. They'll even allow me to extend my acreage on the 2 year contract, if I run outta wood
After walking my entire timbersale boundary, I lost track of my count of 120+ foot white spruce. Couldn't sleep last night shopping for 16-18 ft log-loader trailers. Saw at least a dozen ruffed grouse out there on the timber sale, in the spruce sappling thickets
Dream come true. My whole homestead is an off-grid logging camp way out of town. I dont ever have to travel for work again.
But so much to do! I gotta clear cut a 2 acres of birch for a log-landing yard on my private property and have the dozer operator flatten it out.

Some people are shorter than others. (Couldn't resist posting)
Was the blade made for Paper mills? HOW Thick is the plate and big was the collar and size of the mandrel hole?
Very Neat Picture.

Still testing Blackbird next job i m coupling it with a nice Yale Calamine and will put it at "low friction" setting for double rope work. Gotta get used of the trigger to make it nimble
