Hey Loren,

Jeff and I were cutting wood today and tackled a hemlock cull log left over from last year's barn building. Holy Crap!! That thing couldn't have soaked up any more water if we had drug the thing outta the bottom of Black River!!!!!! By the time we had thrown a load of that stuff on my Dakota piled up to cab top level, the trailor hitch was dragging kinda low. (chuckle) Seems like nothing soaks up water like a hemlock left on the ground.
 
Don,
Don't know what to tell you. Hemlock is a strong structural species, but does require time in a kiln or air drying to be usefull as structural lumber. Back when-- we built rafters for round roof barns like you have seen in my posts of the home farm, the hemlock was stacked and seasoned for a while.
Loren.
 
Yeah, and don't ask me to go anywhere near a mill when they are sawing three inch bridge planks, by however wide the log will make.

Heavier than a dead minister.
