Enjoying your videos. My Grandfather worked in a sawmill in NW Oregon and I got to take a few tours while they were cutting lumber. That was back when OSHA was not even thought of and the three finger stubs on his hands was a testament to the lack of guarding on saws. There is nothing quite like the sound of the head rig saw and the smell of freshly cut lumber.

I've seen some big Oregon beams in Australia 60 feet long 3' x12" , probably milled in the late 1800s . Even though Australia has big timber some still made its way here

My Dad was a Mill Superintendent for Hill Behan Lumber Co. In St.louis. he did it for 40 years. He retired in 1970.

Incredibly dangerous for that dude

Like the other big ass logs that were filmed here this one looks like the others in that the wood fibre is stained from laying around and drying out. When I tailsawed (off bearer) I wore a face guard. It was a screen type that you could flip up and down.

I would wear a screen too what that guy wearing there isn’t enough. So that would be a very low grade log way too much stain. By looks of it hes trying to cut out the stain but it’s getting worse

This one put up a fight to the very end.
