wtnhighlander 7687 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Wow! That's some pretty stock! Does cherry grow very big on your side of the TN river? Its tough to find one over 12" diameter, here in the West side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spanky 1223 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 The sap burl not a wood burl like you see on most tree’s. It’s made from tree sap running out of the side of a tree and forming on the side of the tree. They grow every year you can see the layers on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spanky 1223 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I went to a log yard looking for butternut logs and came home with three maple logs that no sawmill around here would saw them. 49’’ acrosss the end. Nobody wants to spilit them anymore. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chestnut 5650 Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Won't split a 49" log. I'm going to ignorantly say that doesn't seem like that large of a tree, why split it? I must watch to many matt cremona videos. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All the mill here want saw a log over 36’’. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spanky 1223 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 A tree can get to big that you can’t sale it. I have cut a few that nobody wanted to buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know nothing about mills. What i do know is from watching the videos that Matt Cremona posts about building his own custom band mill that has some 72" of capacity or something. So no useful relevant information. 4 minutes ago, Spanky said: A tree can get to big that you can’t sale it. I have cut a few that nobody wanted to buy. Huh never thought that'd be a problem... Things you don't think about when the widest board the lumber yard sells is like 15" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
