We built an 18 x 24 log cabin when we lived in Alaska. 130 very large Black Spruce trees. We two sided them all - except the roof beams - with an Alaskan Mill. Four trees per day were two sided and four were added to the cabin every day. It took from May until mid October to finish the cabin.
That was done in 1976. The cabin still stands and is now in daily use.

A ripping chain is less than $20 on Amazon. Try that before giving up.

I have about 10,000 black locust trees. About 2000 of them are 12-20" diameter. I'd like to make 6x6 or 8x8s and use them to build a post and beam screen house by our pool in the next few years.
Oosik,
We sure had lots of energy and ambition back in those days. Now, not so much. Here is to the memories

A handsome beast.
Did you smooosh it, or is there no point, since it's 1 of probably millions?

I just let it be. They only attack down pine with the bark still on(because it hold the moisture in) and damaged live trees.
