And you won’t have to worry about mice - they stay away from cedar!

There's some dandy cedars here in east TN, I have one that looks to be 24 inch or better in my front yard, need to measure that thing.

Boy I was wrong about the size of that tree, been looking at it for 30 years and never realized how big it was.

Saw it down......

Then saw it up !!!!

I've thought about it, would have to mill it down down with a chainsaw to get it fit on my HM122.

I used to do that with old growth stuff on the west coast.....before cell phone cameras...

I'll have to see if I can find some pics on my computer.

Yup

Lots of cedar in the Ozarks, used to fish a lot out of Theodosia tons of cedar around there.

BTW, Theodosia is where I live....I missed that part earlier.

I hear the fishing is sposta be good around here, planning to try some shore fishing in the near future.

Dad and I used to walleye fish in the north fork this time of year, best time to bank fish is during the white bass spawn run in March-April, lots of fish in the river.

the engine assembly is heavy. How did you set it on the rails?

I used my tractor.

I used mine too, but I didn’t figure it would be that heavy lol.
i guess they expect saw mill buyers all have tractors haha

Slabbed a cherry log/burl yesterday.
Extra bad cuts because I was worried about rocks and nails so I ran a really dull blade

 

[Fleethirte]

We are up and running!

Sweet!

What flavor was that log you cut there?

 

[Fleethirte]

Poplar, building a shelter for my wife’s goats.
I got some oak siting there to saw up as well.
first log I cut (picture attached) I think was a younger poplar. It at least smells like it….
