Here you go Larry.
The first pic is of the dreaded black stain of death! Death for saw blades that is.
I ended up having to cut about 16 inched off the end to avoid the metal that I eventually found.
This one is the opening cut where you generally have an idea of what you've got. To quote Phil from Duck Dynasty, I was happy, happy, happy!
The next three don't do what was there justice! It had some crazy curly and birdseye/burl through out the log.
This one is showing what could be a 17" wide board.
He also dropped off a "smaller" log that was only 38" long. Here's a pic of a slab from that little jewel!
Alas, all wasn't cotton candy and kittens! I heard the distinctive zip sound of metal in the little log and trashed a blade.
That's the chances you take with yard logs. It had a nail dead center and about half way through.
I had some other pics I wanted to get but the dang battery on the phone went dead. I hope you all enjoy. It was a great day to be outside enjoying what the good Lord created.
Here's the last picture of the stack that it produced. It finished up right at 300 bd/ft. He's supposed to come pick it up tomorrow.
