Awesome job with the felling, extremely enjoyable! In 1964-1965 we cut white oak timber of that size and quality for an entire year making stave bolts. No one wanted any lumber and no veneer was even heard of. Average wage for a timber worker in that era was $16-20 per day. My dad and I cut/split bolts 4 days a week and loaded/delivered a tandem truck load the 5th day making between $565-600 each week. These same quality and size of trees you cut today we paid $6-8 per tree depending on the size. We made nearly enough money that year to pay for 6 acres and a $16,000 house (average house price was $5000-9000...equal to $500,000-1,000,000 in today's inflated money. However, today's houses are about 50% more sqft and many more amenities). I'd love to live those good old days again....lol.
At the 17:33 mark of the video a Monarch butterfly flew in and landed on the tree on the opposite side of your cutting. That's the first I've seen this year. In my garden I have a batch of milkweeds that they lay their eggs on the leaf underside. I clip the leaf and raise the larvae thru the different stages in mason jars refreshing their leafs as they consume them until flight. I release a couple dozen butterflies each season. Seeing that one in your video, I'll be looking for them in West Lafayette Indiana soon. I'm approx 100 miles north of you.
Love that Husky saw! I only use Husky xp saws myself. You and your dad should try running "Sugihara" bars, I think they are the best I have used to date and swear by them
Beautiful logs. Love it when the saw drags me into the wood. 😆 What happens with the tops on your jobs? I'm a whole tree operation so we cut out the sawlogs and firewood logs on the landing and chip the tops. Chips go to the power plant. Great video.
How much does an Fair tree go for just curious my brother bought a piece of property in Mississippi and it's full of oak and he's is having a bunch of them cut down he's built a new house and going to rent out the house that's there
Ya I actually wanted you guys to see that especially after watching it! So that was a newer chain, and somebody may have hit the drags a tad just to make it a tad aggressive haha. But that’s just my constant hold
I expected soomeone with your experience to cut down your tops. Cuz some wood lots look like crap when you’re driving by and you see the big crowns sticking up lol. Beauty trees buddy. Nice job
This piece is land locked by the state, is only accessible by an unmaintained county road that has a private access gate. The only people driving by would be an occasional state employee. And you should see what the state property looks like😬😬
@@Helmsburgsawmill ya I understand but if it was your property I’m sure you would want the tops laying on the ground so they could rot Beauty white oak. Here in southern Ontario white oak veneer is just difficult to find our veneer is mostly great big walnut and hard maple some white oak just the way to white oak grows the veneer buyers are iffy about it. I worked for a buyer for a few years

I’ll take a look at those bars!
That one your dad cut must have been a few hundred years old🇨🇦
The husqvarna is like the old Fiat car's high reving and here in Ireland there like the Fiat break down and like the Fiat name Fix It Again Tomorrow

1 sure hope you all are taking out the top of the tree too and not just leaving it to go to waste!
Wish I was there held the fort down though
Thank you Dustin!
