Maybe some of y'all are interested in where the parts come from, when you select the sizes of pieces of wood.
Here's how I do it.
Guess you can't put photos INTO the text on this site ??
Anyway, This is a Pilon Tree that fell over from old age. It produced 10 logs from 8'--20' long. It sawed out at over 4000 bdft of lumber.
My Portable Sawmill goes to the log, not like other mills that you take the log to the mill.
The Pilon was over 6' dia. at it's largest measurement, which was at the junction of the limbs. The color was bright as we sawed the logs, but, they darker considerably when dry.
Most of this was a customers logs, but, I did receive some of the wood for the sawing. I have turned a few pieces, made some chair parts and even Curtain Rod holders I turned. I still have 2 Table Top "Cookies" of 4'+ and 3'+, PLUS a square piece of the limb junction, that is 4'+ X 4'+ X 3" thick, for my, "Someday" Computer Desk.
Hope some of you enjoy the photos. I don't want to overload this site, since it's about PEN Turning, NOT, Sawmilling.
