Where's Waldo ... not a tractor though -- me bad.. fyi the DR Kinetic Splitter is amazing. So much faster than hydraulic ones...

Got an order to saw a load of hemlock lumber and beams on my sawmill.
Perfect use for the pile of sawlogs sitting on my landing.
It’s turning into a busy retirement hobby

Do you have much of a problem with shake in your hemlock? It seems to be problematic in some areas here in Caledonia county including my lot. The mill I used to use before they shut down a few years back would not buy Hemlock sawlogs from Caledonia because of it.

Amazingly, after cutting 1000’s of feet of sawlogs and many tons of pulp, I have not had a single shaky tree.

That's good You are lucky. It is caused by a bacteria in the soil that enters thru the root system. Probably why infections are localized vs random. It used to be considered a symptom of strong winds but that has been proven to be false.

I did not know this until about 15 seconds ago!

I had always heard the "strong winds" theory, but was a bit suspect of it, since I found shake in Hemlock that was very well sheltered from winds.

Thanks for the real story.

Well Gentlemen, I am pleased to report that Operation Wedding Gift has been completed:

Slinging that over my shoulder and walking into a barn wedding was defiantly an interesting experience. It did not fit on the gift table, as the next photo shows.

Only slightly out of place. I hope you will join me in wishing the newlyweds the best, picture below unrelated to wood but relevant.

Thanks for staying tuned! Now to peel him away from his new bride and put the wedding gift to use!

How fitting that it was a barn wedding...

You're the best friend ever!!!

Now all we need is a shot of the bride & groom motoring off on a tractor with a string of tin cans dragging from the 3pt.

You should have taken your forearm and knocked all that junk on the floor and put that bad boy saw where it belongs, in the center of the gift table.
