Bottom of the barrel

This time of year always brings the cream straight to the top. These are the logs that are left after picking out the toughest ones for almost a year.

Gnarly logs make nice live edge slabs

[@GoodWoodSawmill]

These would have been those! But we don't have a slab market like that.

[@africancichlids3011]

Especially if it has figure and curls

Set up looks good. With the gnarly ones, can you cut shorter lengths from them, and make stools or crafty stuff from them ?

[@GoodWoodSawmill]

Umm. That's not really how my saws are set up. Could have sectioned the log and then chainsawed it to length.

[@GaryBonnell-m9q]

You definitely got some metal in bluey there and you will find it the saw blade was made to find metal

[@GoodWoodSawmill]

Nothing more effective at finding nails than a brand new set of teeth!

[@backwoodssawyer1]

Was wondering why it even made it on the infeed in the first place...

[@jamesholland5475]

The big ones are the money logs,lol❤

[@GoodWoodSawmill]

When grade lumber isn't in the tank. ;) haha

Procrastination is a horrible mistress to have to live with.

[@GoodWoodSawmill]

That's a fact!

[@GeorgeArmstead-cn8dg]

Next log on skids has metal in it , that blue means metal!!!😊😊😊

[@GoodWoodSawmill]

Luckily the logging crew got that just above the fence. Still some blue from it being close.

[@DowdSean]

Why do you hate them,oak has feelings to you know.

[@GoodWoodSawmill]

It's not that I hate them. I just don't want to be around them anymore. Kind of worn out their welcome.

[@GoodWoodSawmill]

I will miss them.

[@BobSmith-m7h]

Gonna be days like that 😅 taking the good with the bad,to many leave um in the yard. Never know what your gonna get 😅

[@GoodWoodSawmill]

Luckily there weren't any surprises inside any of them. Sadly, didn't yield a lot of good stuff. But they are done up now and that I'm happy about. 😀

[@randyvoiles6579]

Good firewood 💪💪

[@GoodWoodSawmill]

There is one on there that I might have just burned whole rather than try to bust it up. Lol

[@GoodWoodSawmill]

That skids contained a few hours of sawing.

[@brettkowalski]

Done by ten when I was on my dad's mill. That skid is small compared to what we would run. Show some 16'plus material
