Ya the carriage only tapers 4” so I do what I can but somtimes when they are that bad a 12ft log turns into a 8ft. Would get more out of them if were chainsawed in half but it’s too late once it gets into the mill
They are pallet logs Any log in a tree above the first crotch. That most logger/sawmills leave in the bush and the landowner never gets any money for them That’s why this mill havs been in business since before the 90s There is also a large grade mill on the same property with 2 huge bandsaws. So when they have lots of logs. We start getting bigger stuff but it’s been a tough year for all sawmills so they are taking more smaller logs than usual that means this mill gets even smaller crap lol I cut so fast we still do ok. Cut 260 -290 logs a day
Good logs and sawyers make good videos, thanks.
Thanks buddy. I appreciate that Trying to keep all the viewers happy
A dog's hind leg is more straighter than the first log. Setting for taper is always a good idea.

You find more useable material in some of those logs than anyone could expect. It's surprising that there's any value in some of these logs.
Thank u
I try my best to do a good job. It does get frustrating sawing some of the logs that I do sometimes
where in the world do your logs come from, most would be bad even for the fire wood pile,
