    Hemlock! I didn't know anybody still milled hemlock. Hemlock still is the predominate conifer in northern Appalachia, but it is no longer regularly milled for framing lumber. A little history; All those buffalo skins that were railroad shipped back east from the Great Plains buffalo (American Bison) slaughter arrived in upstate NY and PA where there was a tannery in every town. The hemlock tree bark was used to make tanning acids to cure the skins. Much of NY and PA was denuded of living hemlocks. There was much standing dead trees. These trees were harvested and milled for framing lumber. Those 19th century neighborhoods with the large ornate houses were built with hemlock lumber. Most of the major cities like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Erie, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and even New York were built with 19th century hemlock lumber milled from trees "skinned" by the bark harvesters.

      I'm from Ontario Canada, and hemlock is still commercially milled here. I was friends with the owners of a big mill near Algonquin Park who milled lots and lots of it. The majority was shipped to Europe where it's very popular for some reason.

      Don't forget a number of luxurious Vermont and Rhode Island homes had hemlock used for almost all roof trusses.
      I learned, just during past 2 years (yes, stuck indoors I read 📚 quite a bit) that Victorian Era homes and barns used a significant amount of hemlock because so many forests were just ladden with dry/dead hemlock. It was easier to saw and then mill compared to anything else in the region.

    With all the burned lumber available to you free for the harvesting, you should consider doing a lot more of this work and selling the finished cut straight product for 15% a stud cheaper than the big box stores. You could stack it and let it air dry in a storage area where the wind can accelerate the drying. You could pay for that great saw in a couple months if your body could hold up to the demand. I’m sure it would be more than you could keep up with. Make a share of 2x6, 2x8, 2x10 in varying lengths. Good luck. The videos are always interesting.

      My mill actually paid for itself in the first 6 months I had it resawing reclaimed wood for a commercial contractor. With the burned logs, I don’t really have access to a lot. The ones I have are from my property. I’d love a bigger mill be in actually thing about building a wide slabbing mill.

    Nice lumber. If you don't mind telling us how much did you charge for that lumber vs what the client would have paid for it at home depot. Of course what you are supplying is of much better quality than what you would buy at HD. Thanks again for showing us and I am glad you are healthy again.

    • @NorthwestSawyer
      @NorthwestSawyer  2 года назад

    Do you file your own saw blades or farm that out? You do excellent work. I know when I would go with my dad to work at the mill he said the filing room was one of the highest paying areas of the mill. I know when the head rig hit something crazy that would make an awful racket. It was a large log mill set on a lake in the pacific northwest of Idaho. I miss those days and my Dad.

    if you provide air circulation, not just horizontally but verticlly as well the stack dries quicker to a lower moisture content.... that is ~ provide gaps vertically, not just horizontally as shown here... yeah, more work, but better results

    • @theoztreecrasher2647
      @theoztreecrasher2647 2 года назад

      Yep, and the faster drying results in more splits. Sometimes slow and steady is best - depends on the species. ;-)
