From here it looks like you got some good wood out of them. Seems worthwhile to me for high dollar wood like WRC. If only I could figure out how to get those prices out of Douglas fir, I would be cutting a lot of small material like that too.
We don’t have WRC in Southern Oregon so I haven’t worked with it. Does it tend to twist and crack more like a lot of other species if it is boxed heart?
You're right, it only makes sense bc I can sell it for $5/bf. Can't make DF pay with these small tops. Fred doesn't like them, but if everyone can make some money then I think its worth while.
It will crack a little bit if the logs are cut wet, but it seems like cedar is a little more forgiving than some of the other species on twisting with the boxed heart. Most of the small logs dry out quick in the spring and summer and then don't crack much after the mill. Thanks for watching!
I'm not sure about the permit question. Most of the cedar goes to outdoor projects like fences, decks, trellises, pergolas, etc. I don't stamp or grade, sold as is
@@SJForestProducts Thanks for the response Jason! I just got me some land with a whole lotta trees. I'll probably be picking your brain as I figure things out. Cheers!
I wonder what the sawmill time is worth. I can't imagine Fred works for free. I'm guessing after expenses you might have cleared $150 -250 on that load?

Nice Job I Could see Fred was Not Impressed but hey Money is Money Great Vlog thanks
Haha, no Fred was not impressed, but I don't think he ever is. Thanks for watching!
Great video Jason. Good info. Thanks for sharing. 🍻👍
Thanks for watching!
Hey Jason, are you going to work the mine next month or so?
Yes, I have some mining videos coming up! Stay tuned on the MBMM channel. Thanks!
Can someone use that lumber for permitted/inspected construction? Do you grade and stamp them? Or are they sold as is?

@@SJForestProducts Jason, you need to build veneer peeler so you can peel those small logs into round columns and posts. Less waste.

Lol "Our, We" 😂
Haha, the collective "we"
Seems to me if you were paying for him at his standard rate, and you made money, it was worth it for both of you.
Yep, I think so! I did ok on the wood and Fred got paid so it all worked out
All about making money where you can and saving someone some bucks to use in certain types of projects.
Sounds like a good plan to me!
A bridge to long or a tree to small. I think in parts of the world those would be "big" trees.
Haha, good point! I thought they looked good. It worked out fine for me. All of these posts have already sold too!
@@SJForestProducts Where do you sell them at? Or how do you market them?
Never mind. See it now in the description. My bad.
Use it as it is or burn it,sorry you must middle it and then you see there is not a lot to bring out!
Yep, small logs don't have a lot of wood, but cedar is worth enough to make the milling profitable even with these small logs
He need somebody who will clean his sawmill- that is not a place for good work-sorry! On the saw he has a really precice eye for cutting!
He does have a great eye, and also needs to clean up around his mill, I agree!
