I would think that if you're milling your own logs and you have more time than money, it might make sense to cut some short boards. A one meter long board might come in handy for a lot of uses.

I like your videos, you have a good channel. On the two small top logs, when the mills take them down to 4 inches, are they actually sawing those into lumber or using them for something like pulpwood?

Thanks! They are made into 2x4s. The actual dimensions of a 2x4 are smaller than advertised, so a 4" top gives you enough to mill one board.
Gosh 4” top diameter what’s that scale at, 5 bdft? I used to run a Woodmizer and I hated anything less than 10” just so much more time per board cut
Yeah, balsam fir doesnt get too big, but the mills around here are optimized to run high volumes of these logs quickly. It's a good market to have
