Well, after lots of hem-hawing and no out of town sawmill paying my uncle for his oak tree, he's given me the OK to come get it. It is 26' long x over 4' diameter and straight as an arrow. Not many branches were cut off either. He doesn't want it cut into boards on site. I have access to a big flatbed rollback trailer for hauling cars. Any idea how much a 26'x4' diameter oak log weighs? It was cut down last week.
I've already called Woodmizer to get some references for local mills. I REALLY want this thing quarter sawn. I don't mind paying for blades if they hit metal. Am I better off going with a portable Woodmizer-type sawyer or since I can (probably) move this thing around should I take it to a real sawmill? This is my first crack at this. I'm excited about all the wood in that tree though. If anyone has a good sawyer or mill reference in the Akron/Wadsworth area I'm all ears!!
