Jeff,

That whole pile is Oak in that batch, 2 trees that were blown down and hung up for a few years.

I like to 8/4 some stuff and hope to later book match it. I do have some Maple Cherry, and Walnut from the Philly Logs when I had my house there. The quality is fair to poor since they were damaged trees but FREE wood is FREE wood....

I was lucky that the logs or trees were near the township road so my thin tire converted boat trailer worked well. I made this rig to let me carry the logs on my trailer, ramps with 4 x 4's and pickets to keep the logs steady. It has a high center of Gravity but the trip home was short. I would love to someday have a Forwarding Trailer with a Grappling Boom on the Trailer to lift the logs.

Used a chain and manual come a long to pull the logs to the road.

Here's how I haul my logs. The John Deere does the loading. I recently got a 5,000 lb Autocrane off ebay to mount on the truck.

Last September after Ike went thru Indian I had Three Walnut, two Cherry and a Hard Maple on the ground, Instead of making fire wood out of them I purchased a Wood-Mizer LT10. I been looking at this band saw mill for some time and said to myself, self buy it. For anyone who isn’t going to do a lot of sawing this is what you need although it will saw 100 feet per hour at a reasonable price. See site below.
