About 2 months ago, I cut down a walnut tree that my wife's grandfather set out at the old homeplace in 1910. The main body of the tree at the botton was 36 inches in diameter. When I cut it down, the piece was 12 feet long. My son loaded it on a dump truck with a track loader. The piece was way way too large to put on my saw mill to slab it out. So, I sent it to a friends place who has a regular saw mill and slabed it out for me in to a rectangular piece 24 in x 24 in. After running the metal detector over it, finding one nail, I loaded it on the mill with a skid steer by lifting one end then the other. It was too heavy to completely lift. Once I got it on there, I began slicing it. After 2 hours, I got 23 good 1 inch slices 24 inches wide. I then stood those slices up and cut them down to 3-- 7 1/2 inch boards. So, Out of this log, I got 69--1" X 7.5 x 12 foot walnut boards along with a small lot of misc stuff. It took me 3 hours to haul and stack it by myself. Sooooo, in the next lifetime, it will be dried out enough to do something with it. TW
