Nice work Mr. C - it looks like that sister stick is pretty limb heavy to the offside.
Yeah, she is. It’ll be a little challenging being up there a ways. I don’t have any jacks with hoses right now, only the self-contained one. Today was the first time I’ve jacked hardwoods. I’ll have a bunch to jack tomorrow along this field edge. I could fall them into the field, but I’m going to try to keep as much of the mess in the woods as possible.

Yeah I've always cut them out of something small near by if needed.
Gotcha. There were a couple 2x4’s in the area, so I used those, and made one of my own that you can’t quite see.
Lots of fencing and various obstacles to avoid on this project.

Do yall ever run across any hardwood burls, I'd like to get my hands on a couple for some different knife handle material.

I bid a 20x40 barn repair project a while back that had an upper floor filled with sawmill lumber and "project wood."
Removal of all was part of "one" of the estimates.

Once you could see past the mold and brown recluse infestation there was a large variety of hardwood lumber and burls.
Red, white and Asianapin oak, cherry, "highly valuable" black walnut, hickory, poplar and spalted maple were all easily visible.

Every "version" of estimate(s) given was more than ins would cover though.
If I ever end up doing it I will get you some pics.

Oh yeah, those old barns hold a treasure trove of of some awesome old lumber. I had a good stock of some local stuff ,but sadly its about gone. Now I either cant find anything or people want way to much $$$$ money for it. I dont mind paying for something,but not gonna overpay either.
I like about anything that has figure and will look good on knives
Heck I've got several peices I've saved right outta firewood piles, they just aren't near dry enough to use or have stabilized yet.

Getting the burl is only 1 part of the process. Getting it dried and processed and stabilized in another. Lots involved to get good scales.
This is correct, and a wrong move by me while cutting or shaping costs me more in the end.

Lots of firewood to be had, and a few loads to be sent to the mill from this little project. This is at my parent’s place. A project they have wanted me to do for a while, so they can get more sunlight. It finally fit into the schedule.

Very nice work - do you have a good market for the Oak? When Northwest Hardwoods was going we sold them a lot of big Oak and Asianapin. We took out some big Oak for the railroad there just southwest of Riddle
and shipped it all into NH.

Your folks sure have a nice place.
@HYPERSAWS is going to mill some of the straighter pieces perhaps, but otherwise I’m just cutting it into logs and decking it. I can’t haul any of this until it dries out. I’m mostly making 35’ including trim out of the fir, and they’ll probably end up at C&D because they are pretty rough. I’ll see what I can find for the oak.
They sure do have a nice place.
