    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    Love my heelers. The first is me hauling 16' boards in the truck by pushing them though the sliding window and into the cab. it works for just a few boards. But my girl dog refuses to relenquish her spot omthe center console. Seems happy though.

    He has a Highway 129 - Deal's Gap - Tail of the Dragon T-shirt on. I rode long ago when it was just Highway 129. Still rode it when it was was called Deal's gap. Once it was named "tail of the dragon" I had to let it go. The gas station at the bottom of the hill went from being a gas station...

    Stacked my first Holz Hausen. Not exactly right but will still get it dry in a couple of years. 8' diameter and around 5' high where the top cover starts. Center is full of the odd shape stuff. The splitting axe is there for scale. Some of the sticks are a little large. I got tired of...

    Mother nature takes a good one. 150 year old white oak taken by the wind. The worst part is there is no real saw timber in it. I got a 9' section out of the trunk but even that is full of limbs. The rest is all cut, split and stack. The only "good" piece is sitting on top of the load. Ignore...

    Now that you mention it, I did hesitate on two before scrolling down.

    as far as I know it is yellow poplar that is on a creek bank. it was neat to see the colored poplar on the side facing the creek and the regular poplar color on the side up hill. I have read that it looses its color over time but that should be remedied with a good solar kiln dry and some...

    For what it's worth I had the poplar I posted earlier sawed. Was lucky to actually have rainbow poplar. Never heard of it until now. For anyone interested, here are a few pictures of the color. Seems odd to get blue lumber off a creek bank in upstate SC. Managed to get 450 bdf out of two 8...

    Is the Hults Bruk the same or similar to Gransfors bruk? I really like their tools. I use the Ochsenkopf for cutting and splitting because Stihl rebrands it and its easy to get. Here is the latest casualty from the wind. A good size yellow poplar. Turns out the side facing the creek is...

    Not my mill but a friends. It is a Cooks made in Alabama. It has a 50 or so Hp Perkins diesel on it. Plus the guy knows how to sharpen and tune a band blade, so it was humming through the thick white oak....until we hit a nail from deer stand I built 20 years ago. That makes a very unique...

    PM sent. Nothing 32" wide because I was limited by the mill. Had to square it up at 24"

    No plans yet. but having a couple of 6" x 24" x 12' heartwood white oak hanging around will be nice. If it falls it saws. It will take 6 years to air dry though. Next up is a solar kiln.

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    I have always lurked but never posted. Until this thread. Too much fun wrapped up in this. The hurricane dropped or wrecked a few trees this year so I had to get to work. Too bad it took out the top of the biggest tree on the property. The Stihl 660 with the 36" bar made felling the big white...
