Big Spruce on the Sawmill

My sister Beth and I saw up a big spruce log on the woodmizer. It was a beautiful day to spend outside sawing. It was a big log and we ended up with a lot of lumber from it.

Thanks by letting me start your musical background (18:04 ish) with air guitar! And thanks for letting me have the first of the belly boards! I haven't tried it at home yet...hope the resin doesn't block the UV.

Hey Beth, we'll do some slabbing when you visit again this summer.

Good job and great video George! What is Robert fencing in...a hundred acre parcel?

[@mcsawmill]

I think he's selling them to Texas...

good sister

[@paulrentmeester]

I enjoy your sister giving you comments and spending time with you at the mill.

Thanks! We had fun. Only one log this visit, though...it was too wet the rest of the time.

Nice yield! We just had a new load of spruce (and one white pine) dropped off by our tree service guy, not sure what he wants milled out of them yet. What blade do you like for these knotty pines? We had good results with a 10 degree blade, but we lack in horsepower on our mill.

I run 737 for everything. If they are the same type spruce as mine you can't make structural from them, just boards. Even stickers fall apart

Hey, do I see you wearing MCS shirt? Do you have size XL Tall ? Nice logo! I’ll take a couple! Do they come in orange? Spruce makes nice slabs! It reminds me of that real nitty one you cut a while back!

[@mcsawmill]

I just have a few samples, don't really like any of them yet. I do have some hats on order, you have to come help me saw again to get one lol.

Is that a Bissell log?

[@mcsawmill]

It is and I need 3 hemlock for my kiln build.

How much time did this take?

[@mcsawmill]

Not a good comparison because besides sawing I'm also making a youtube video which takes almost as much time as actual sawing. But that said I think it was about 2-3 hours.
