portable sawmill needed

[Woodman2k]

Who has a mobile portable sawmill that can do some sawing in Mooresville.I obtained several large white oak logs and I cannot cut them up for firewood.One is 35" across .Tonite I was called about a 125 ' tall Red oak tree that is coming down and I can expect delivery this weekend.There is a lot of lumber in that one also.Had to turn down two large maple trees from the same guy till I can find a portable mill.Thanx,
Greg

Whut chu talkin about Willis? Where ya gittin' all that wood Man?:banana: Large(?) Maples??? Dang fine wood there if'n it ain't rotted already. Better have a look-see at it and scope out any burls that might be hanging around. Don't fill up the wood bin just yet; we's got us some some trees t' cut ya know.

David,
What I have right now is White Oak and it was all cut up.The base of the trunk was too big to haul down to my house.One crotch had alot of ants so that is probably why it was cut down.I have 3 sections that will mill up some decent lumber.I had to pass on the maple could not fit it in the yard.It was clear ,straight, any kind of boring.Believe me I checked it out.I will have many more opportunities.Plus with what you have to cut wood should not be a problem.I'll call you tomorrow.Later,
Greg

Sounds like you got some nice wood to play with. :icon_thum With the cooler weather on us now, I'm planning on getting in some shop time and seeing what I can work up to make room for more stuff.

Jack,
I just realized where you are, are you thinking I'm in Morrisville.I'm in Mooresville ,36 miles from Charlotte.Let me know because that is a long way to cart a sawmill.

Jack pulls his sawmill around with a Chevy. See when you have a Chevy, 36 miles from Charlotte ain't all that far. The wife just took my Chevy to the left coast (Ocean Side California) and back here to the right coast. That ain't even very far when your in a Chevy

Now if Jack were driving something besides a Chevy. I would say 36 miles from Charlotte would be a long ways to cart a sawmill.

The wife just took my Chevy to the left coast (Ocean Side California) and back here to the right coast.

You let her bring it back? How many times did she have to stop to have it worked on? :gar-La;

You know there's a comedian in every crowd - I think this site is full of jokers... But then again if I were driving something besides a Chevy - I would have to joke around too just to counteract all the crying.

Jeff,
you know why Ford chassis are used the most for tow trucks,so the odds that a chevy will make it home go up considerably.
Had to do it.

I'd help you out, but I stopped going to sawing sites a long time ago.

Kyle,
what is the most accurate way to guesstimate the weight of a log.In this case they are White Oak.If I knew what they weighed I probably could make some arrangements to move them.

Sorry Kyle not meaning to steal your thunder here and I don't know why I'm helping a guy who's dissin on Chevys - I must be slap happy or something but... Greg there are all kinds of log weight guess-a-mators on the internet, here's one--->http://www.forestryforum.com/calcs/log_weight.htm

 

[Kyle]

woodweb has a good guess-ta- mator for log weight.

Thanx for the link,you know I'm just giving you a hard time.I've owned both and they can be great and they can all act like dodge's when you need them the most.
