So far we've mostly been sawing yellow or white pine. It's fun to saw something different for a little while. The poplar saws and stacks really nice ‪@LumberLineFarmingCountry‬

We've seen old seasoned yellow poplar boards in late 1800's and early 1900's houses, that are still in great shape since they were protected being under roof, that are beautiful b oards

I wouldn't care to have a house made of them! How about you?

I have read that pioneers found yellow poplars as tall as 190ft tall and 10ft in diameter in Ky and other parts of our nation when they were looking for places to settle. I've seen some boards in very old houses that were probably between 3-4 ft wide. Amazing! And imagine how long it took them to cut one down by hand and then turn it into useable lumber?!

I can't imagine what the country side would have been like to see the massive timber growing here. The work must have been hard but so rewarding!

Did you have issues with the fittings leaking hydraulic fluid? We like the mill and it runs strong and hard now that we are getting the kinks worked out.

Do you run the mill full time?

Hello, actually our "day job" is logging & the saw mill is for when weather doesn't permit us to be in the woods. We have really fought the rain this year until recently.
