    Before jumping in to this I would spend some time on budget research and figuring out what time frames look like. It may come down to something like 50k for a commercial mill to be done in 6 months...

    You would probably get the most traction if you found a hobbyist sawyer who can move logs. If it were me I would say cut down the trees yourself and if I can get my equipment to the log (ie. not in...

    It depends on your intentions, do you want to use the wood yourself or are you trying to sell the log or sell the lumber. I do know locally the guys who sell big slabs will buy large diameter trees....

    I wouldn't worry about it too much, as long as you've got good air flow.

    Sounds like par for the course, the big time guys probably aren't motivated to keep something like that in stock since its not exactly a high demand item (at least I don't think it is), and the small...

    You are correct, I just threw that in my last comment as an after thought without doing any research to confirm first (I'm doing all this sitting in my office at work lol).

    This is true. I was thinking "rule of thumb" at 1% but it does vary by species, and I have no clue what cypress max may be, off the top of my head I would guess that being so wet while green you...

    The hard part will be finding a kiln, vacuum will be the fastest but probably also the hardest to locate (not to mention most expensive). Possible good news is, considering final use will be on a...

    I have noticed a lot of wind shake, and water oak is the dominant oak species around here, and water oaks of a certain age start to rot in the center and those are the ones that tend to uproot. So no...

    I recently did the same thing, quartered up a red oak that was too big to move way back in the woods (I don't recommend it unless as a last resort). Can't wait to get them on the mill, I'll probably...

    I've got 2 stihls I can't remember off hand what models, but there's a farm boss with a 20" bar and a small one with a 16" bar. I wouldn't say they leak so much as that if you put them up dirty (saw...

    How do you store your chainsaws? Right now mine are just sitting on the floor, occasionally buildup will wick oil all over the floor. Can you hang them on the wall, do they need to stay horizontal so...

    What do you mean by 150 years old, is it from a tree that was cut down 35 years ago when the tree was 150 or was the beam cut from a tree 150 years ago? Where has it been stored for 35 years,...

    Is it still standing or is it lying on the ground. I think termites are pretty quick to find fresh dead yellow pine. If its still standing you may be ok, if it was struck by lightning it may be a...
