Pete, you explained your reasoning for making the cut length and rough grading decisions just fine. Thanks for taking us along so we can learn a bit about what goes into the process.
Thanks. One of coolest ones yet. Love hearing how and why. I wish I could hear the how and why of each log I get for firewood. Just one tri axle load a year. Lots of story in 20 face cord. Lol. I know it’s just trash wood but it turns into treasure for me. Keep up the good work!
Hey Nutty, Interesting process. I've seen you with DP and CK but I won't hold that against you.... I got to observe a logger similar to you who harvested a bunch of walnut and white oak in a hollow very near me. You've explained some things I didn't understand about his work. He took some 10 or 15 semi loads of walnut out of the hollow.... That was five years ago. Good Luck!!!
Thanks Pete. Really interesting to hear you thoughts. I always struggle with bucking the logs I take out of my forest. We have almost the same mix of species here in S. Central PA as you cut.
I pretty much understood everything you were explaining and it did help me understand what you are focused on. I have a small manual sawmill and everything possible goes on the mill. Whatever doesn't make lumber just feeds the fireplace. I use all the lumber i make myself but if I ever get to a time when I have wood to sell what you explained makes sense. My neighbor had a big mill and he had contacts for cabinet grade and railroad tie output. He died two hrs ago so I lost my market info. Sometimes I think the buyers have such narrow focus they forget there are other people doing other things with wood. mrg
Nice explanation. Lure factory calling, i need lots . I got a week, then back under knife. My poor arm looks like you cut me with chain saw. Funny worked with knifes, saw and never got to cut up. Now its sems monthly
Lots of quick decisions to make, takes a lot of time to memorize, then it's like clockwork, same thing with running a processor, except I only have two species to deal with, always enjoy the videos, neat to see how you guys do it back east👍
I'd really like to come cut some nice timber with you some day, your always on some more decent looking wood man, always great content bud thanks for the time and effort you put in to your video be safe
No honey we can’t take a goat home cause we already have one. It’s me nutsy the the ole boar goat. She a keeper dude. Just couldn’t help but make a comment. Haven’t been to a real country fair in years.
hey Nuts long time no chat I see a lot of timber on your landing but no trucks to haul it ? I would think you'd want to move it out keeping the landing clear

It's much like making the best hand when playing cards! Best of what ya got dealt!,!!

I’ve never smelled panther piss, but whenever I’ve split red oak, I always think, “UGH! panther piss!”
And then I Love the aroma of Red Oak!?

Sorry for your loss buddy
I think I'm officially TH-cam certified to buck logs in PA now. When do I start??
There’s a seat waiting for you anytime you want to come
Pick me up along the way.
I'd love to come cut for a day in the fall/winter when things slow down and just learn another person's perspective on things
Good job Pete. That'll help people to know more about how it's done. Take care and GOD BLESS and I'll see you on your next vidja.
Nice explanation. Lure factory calling, i need lots .
I got a week, then back under knife. My poor arm looks like you cut me with chain saw.
Funny worked with knifes, saw and never got to cut up. Now its sems monthly
That is definitely some irony
@@nuts319 left message call me so i can see what you need lures
You lost me when you said GO. 😵💫. Very nice information.
Looks like the skid row needs a few of those Nascar track drying trucks!
Oh my yes that hurricane dumped hard here
Interesting concept of thinking where to cut a log. We have a couple loggers that can't think.
Lol
From the average joe you explained it great.
Great explanation! Thanks for taking the time to share....
Cool vid. I like the explanations

Thanks buddy

No honey we can’t take a goat home cause we already have one. It’s me nutsy the the ole boar goat. She a keeper dude. Just couldn’t help but make a comment. Haven’t been to a real country fair in years.
Great video 👍👍
Good one. Thanks
Damned good Video Sir!
Good splanein!,!!
Nice job, thanks

I like to move it as fast as I can but trucks are hard to come by these days
@@nuts319 really I would think that haulers would be wanting all the work they could find now
Hard too make money with small diameter logs.
Great explanation.
Does pallet stock pay the same as tie stock?
Depends on where it goes one is usually by the ton in the other one is by the foot
Great explanation!
What is scragg wood never heard of that here in Missouri
Pallet and blocking
👍👍
Awesome video.
When your grading your logs, do you get a rough footage amount ??
Every so often I scale a load going into the mail to make sure the footage is correct
👍
big thumbs up
Thanks buddy
Yes sir
Hey Pete 👋
Make each move count
👋
Thanks Pete. I enjoy listening to the business decisions. Some times John @ Spruce4 will explain his reasoning for his log choices. You did better.
