At the 17:33 mark of the video a Monarch butterfly flew in and landed on the tree on the opposite side of your cutting. That's the first I've seen this year. In my garden I have a batch of milkweeds that they lay their eggs on the leaf underside. I clip the leaf and raise the larvae thru the different stages in mason jars refreshing their leafs as they consume them until flight. I release a couple dozen butterflies each season. Seeing that one in your video, I'll be looking for them in West Lafayette Indiana soon. I'm approx 100 miles north of you.

Export veneer is what we called that in the 1980's.

Awesome job with the felling, extremely enjoyable! In 1964-1965 we cut white oak timber of that size and quality for an entire year making stave bolts. No one wanted any lumber and no veneer was even heard of. Average wage for a timber worker in that era was $16-20 per day. My dad and I cut/split bolts 4 days a week and loaded/delivered a tandem truck load the 5th day making between $565-600 each week. These same quality and size of trees you cut today we paid $6-8 per tree depending on the size. We made nearly enough money that year to pay for 6 acres and a $16,000 house (average house price was $5000-9000...equal to $500,000-1,000,000 in today's inflated money. However, today's houses are about 50% more sqft and many more amenities). I'd love to live those good old days again....lol.

Good control of that shakey looking oak. One night back in the early seventies the softwood mill that I worked at in southern BC we were sawing Red Cedar. The sawyer loaded the carriage with a five foot log about 24 feet long. He made a slab pass then a 2 inch pass and reveresed the carriage and turned the log to the opposite face. He hit the log a little too hard with the log turner and the cedar log fell apart to reveal a dead black bear about 3 years old. We figured that the bear crawled into the end of the log that was punked out and died for whatever reason. The sawyer and myself used two picaroons to pu;t the bear to the front of the carriage where the sweeper pushed the bear down the hole to send it to the burner.

Beautiful logs. Love it when the saw drags me into the wood. 😆 What happens with the tops on your jobs? I'm a whole tree operation so we cut out the sawlogs and firewood logs on the landing and chip the tops. Chips go to the power plant. Great video.

This piece is land locked by the state, is only accessible by an unmaintained county road that has a private access gate. The only people driving by would be an occasional state employee. And you should see what the state property looks like😬😬

@@Helmsburgsawmill ya I understand but if it was your property I’m sure you would want the tops laying on the ground so they could rot Beauty white oak. Here in southern Ontario white oak veneer is just difficult to find our veneer is mostly great big walnut and hard maple some white oak just the way to white oak grows the veneer buyers are iffy about it. I worked for a buyer for a few years
