Straightening a Crooked Pine Tree w Woodmizer LT15 Sawmill

[@edwinlikeshistractor8521]

I have sutured quite a few left leg chainsaw lacerations practicing in my now ex-timber town. You always have your chaps on. This sets a great example for nonprofessional weekend fallers like me.

[@WilsonForestLands]

When my Dad started me on the chainsaw as a teenager, he required that I wear them as long as I am working for him. Fortunately the habit stuck because I hate lacerations. I have never had one but I know I don’t like them.

[@Dustin_the_wind]

That is some sharp stuff, for certain. Thanks, M.W.

[@MsdMakingSawDust]

Should have left the truck there.. ain’t like you would be losing anything .. it’s a FORD… 😂 I don’t think you would get three logs out of that crocked thing. But I got to say, they lumber turned out blue stained nice. By the way .. on that old Ford, that 7.3 is about the best money Can buy.

[@WilsonForestLands]

Yep it would have been fine if I left it. I can imagine all the comments I would have had if I did. Yep that 7.3 has been a good one. I am surprised I haven’t been razzed more about my Fords.

Somewhere a boat builder cries at 2:55 as he cuts a perfect boat hull beam into fire wood. That is some beautiful wood.

[@twistedlimb4053]

I was thinking rocking chairs, but yeah

[@TheOldJarhead]

lol cracking me up! Darn camera's forgetting to record!!!😂😮😅 Mine just decides to shut off to

[@WilsonForestLands]

If only I could train my cameras to make these decisions for good instead of for missing things. I haven’t yet had a situation where the camera just turned on by itself and happened to catch some unexpected good footage.

[@TheOldJarhead]

@@WilsonForestLands Right? I mean, if it's going to have a mind of it's own the least it could do is turn ON when something good is about to happen 🤪

[@timmyfields6159]

Should have left the truck, I would have loved to seen the safety sally comments knowing your an experienced logger

[@WilsonForestLands]

Yeah that would be entertaining. But with experience comes the knowledge that trees don’t always do what they are expected to do.

[@timmyfields6159]

@@WilsonForestLands good point 🤔👍

[@arnoldpraesent174]

I dont care about the car - not mine - but how could you stop cutting in the middle of cutting down the tree - and next thing is to walk around in front of the tree you would like to cut down... thats irresponsible and dangerous. 🤣🤣🤣 btw. you would not have hit the car... so all good. 😜

[@andrewwindham5707]

Stickers be milled out of those logs? I'm obviously new to this field but I know you have to have what we use to call stacking sticks. If I do get a mill I definitely want the most efficient way to get stickers.

[@waynejordan5825]

I would like to hear the story on those home made forks!

[@brianjonker510]

Sawing a crooked tree? Yeah cut your logs out of the straight sections and then saw as normal. WoW that was hard.

[@SUF-py4ix]

What is your go to saw please? Is it a 66 and what length of bar is it? Please

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

Ya see, Michael? The sarcasm alert was perfectly timed. Now you're getting the hang of it.

[@WilsonForestLands]

Yep I catch on quick, as long as you give me a long time to catch on.

[@earlds111]

Lol ! I new you were gonna move the truck !

[@paulcasefarms9933]

That is some very nice denim pine! Good job saving it!

[@WilsonForestLands]

I have heard a few people call it denim pine. I’m wondering if that’s more of an East Coast thing. Thanks for the comment.

[@waltlee3172]

Sap worms?

[@billbrownster]

I knew a guy (mostly described as dumb as a box of rocks) who did leave his truck and then cut the tree. The bed was ever after shaped like a "V". We called him "TexLax". Fun times!

[@grizz2702]

I wasn't gonna comment on that but if you felt comfortable leaving your truck there then I felt comfortable you leaving your truck there lol...cheers

[@WilsonForestLands]

It’s probably easier for you to be comfortable with it since it isn’t yours. 😁

[@VIVA4EVER2001]

Another great video. I would love to see a video entirely devoted to bugs ! They appear to cause so much damage to the trees over there in the USA

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

Boy, Michael, that's a pretty dumb thing to take a chance on. Don't do it! Sorry about this comment. I did it before you said that you were joking and moved the truck. Next time warn me earlier. Dave

[@WilsonForestLands]

Thanks Dave, it’s a good thing you set me straight. Otherwise I might have done it.

[@TheOldJarhead]

Awesome job Mike! Very entertaining! I enjoyed it!

[@WilsonForestLands]

Thanks Erik.

[@southernadirondackoutdoors]

From what I hear, chickens love those big white bugs...perhaps a side hustle for you 🤣

[@WilsonForestLands]

At a house I lived in long ago, there was a friendly stray cat in the area. When I would go out to the shed to split wood, it would come in and eat the grubs. If the chicken side hustle doesn’t work out, maybe cats.

[@westcoaster3763]

Where do you sell your wood at?

[@WilsonForestLands]

When I was selling lumber I had a warehouse in town that I would meet people at to sell it. But I haven’t been selling lumber now that prices and demand have dropped.

[@keithclark486]

Should have left the truck where it was.

[@WilsonForestLands]

Yep I would have got away with it that time.

[@KevinsDisobedience]

Nice limbing…no zinging…just cut the limb. 👍

[@WilsonForestLands]

Thanks for the comment.

[@dennisworkmansr.714]

I was going to but then having seen you for awhile i knew you wouldn't

[@WilsonForestLands]

I may have laid on the set up for that a little too thick to be convincing.

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Wow, take care

[@WilsonForestLands]

Thanks

[@DANG--]

That is good money. Blue stained !

[@WilsonForestLands]

Yeah people like the blue stained ponderosa. I have never had any problems selling that.

[@joeyrector1015]

That's is some very nice lumber if you ask me

[@WilsonForestLands]

Agreed
