Thread: Cypress pine anyone?

I'll be in that if the logs are legal. Would be ready to start about mid April. I hate sawing in summer, you just get too much degrade. What sort of log size are we looking at? I have a contract to cut timber for a B&B cabin and was wondering what timber to use. You may have solved my problem.

Unsure how to measure log size but the one I looked at today would have been 2 foot across at the base. This would be probly the maximum size. There would be 100's or even 1000's between 1-2 foot. Alot of the trees were left when they cleaned up the mallee over 50 years ago. Unsure about legal or not but some of them are going because they are to close and can't get between them with a machine. A miller went though some of the country(not all) 10 years ago and got 100's of truck loads of logs. Uncle organised it and guess it was done legally. How do you go about seeing if it's legal or not? In some of the country that wasn't cleared because it was full of pine trees some of them have died because a fire went though about 10-12 months ago. Would they be any good to mill? Would you mill here or take the logs back to your place? Next door knocked down 100's of trees (did it legally) going into tram line farming. Would be alot of pine trees in that. If they were any good I could tell him not to burn them.

Sounds promising, with a Lucas it would be easy either on site or take the logs out by truck load.
The advantage of site milling is that you aren't carting waste. When it comes to preparing logs for log construction, its better to mill and use the logs straight away while they are still straight. So in other words, its off the saw and into the wall. Happy to show you the ropes. These are a versatile machine and easy to move about. Keep your eye out for a good second hand one at the right price.

Would be interested in someone milling here. Just wanting to learn and maybe get some timber to build a small cabin. Looking into doing something to create more income as things are a bit tight at the moment and have plenty of resources.
