Hemlock! I didn't know anybody still milled hemlock. Hemlock still is the predominate conifer in northern Appalachia, but it is no longer regularly milled for framing lumber. A little history; All those buffalo skins that were railroad shipped back east from the Great Plains buffalo (American Bison) slaughter arrived in upstate NY and PA where there was a tannery in every town. The hemlock tree bark was used to make tanning acids to cure the skins. Much of NY and PA was denuded of living hemlocks. There was much standing dead trees. These trees were harvested and milled for framing lumber. Those 19th century neighborhoods with the large ornate houses were built with hemlock lumber. Most of the major cities like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Erie, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and even New York were built with 19th century hemlock lumber milled from trees "skinned" by the bark harvesters.
@crichtonbruce43292 жыл бұрын
I'm from Ontario Canada, and hemlock is still commercially milled here. I was friends with the owners of a big mill near Algonquin Park who milled lots and lots of it. The majority was shipped to Europe where it's very popular for some reason.

Don't forget a number of luxurious Vermont and Rhode Island homes had hemlock used for almost all roof trusses. I learned, just during past 2 years (yes, stuck indoors I read 📚 quite a bit) that Victorian Era homes and barns used a significant amount of hemlock because so many forests were just ladden with dry/dead hemlock. It was easier to saw and then mill compared to anything else in the region.

With all the burned lumber available to you free for the harvesting, you should consider doing a lot more of this work and selling the finished cut straight product for 15% a stud cheaper than the big box stores. You could stack it and let it air dry in a storage area where the wind can accelerate the drying. You could pay for that great saw in a couple months if your body could hold up to the demand. I’m sure it would be more than you could keep up with. Make a share of 2x6, 2x8, 2x10 in varying lengths. Good luck. The videos are always interesting.

good to see you back and healthy. question from someone that only knows about cutting lumber from watching you I wanted to cut a log in half and put it on 2 other logs to make a bench to go around a fire pit. if you have anytime available time would love to see how you would build something like that or give advice like what's the best way or kind of log to use thank you

I guess it kind of depends on what tools you have access to. If it were me, I’d slice a cedar log in half on my mill around 4’ longer than I want the bench to be. Next I’d cut 2’ off of each end for the legs and use a small, even electric, chainsaw to carve out notches for the bench.
