What is the benefit of keeping a stump? We need to remove a dead fir tree beside our house, but really don’t need to remove the stump (an extra cost) because it’s not in public view. If there is a possibility of new growth with an active root system, then we’d remove the stump.

I know it is an old video but the info was just what I was looking for. I have the same sawmill for 4 years ( also manual), but only have about 12 hours of run time on it. I am still learning. Quarter sawn wood is what I want to cut ( more stabile and nice grain pattern). Now in the process of building a stock of lumber for furniture making. Cheers from Canada.

No stress in THAT log! Kind of looks like a caterpillar the way the stress seems to undulate as the blade goes down the log.

Hey Bambra, here is another way to quartersaw if you have enough throat on your band saw. You still can do it if you have large logs, but will have extra passes. "Quartersawing Oak: Making Expensive Lumber Out Of Free Logs" For sure you will have less waist 🙏

Thanks for the video. I’ve used this method with my Hardwood Mills GT 26 after reading your book but it’s super nice to have it on video and always more to learn. It must be nice to have the hydraulics, takes some lateral thinking to get big logs up and moved with just cant hooks and a tirfor!

Your cedar is showing a tall straight bole already - you seem to have less problem with the tip moth than we do up here in SEQ. It will make a beautiful cabinet, or skirting boards for your next home (probably in a little over 20 years if you have the same growth rates as we do). Our house on a little farm on the Gold Coast was built a little over 150 years ago from local cedar, black bean and hoop pine, so we're planting for its replacement in fifty years. 🙂 We agree with you about not being too dogmatic about species or ecosystems. Our land, according to the regional ecosystem, should be open gum forest, but the cedars, silky oaks, fig trees and many more rainforest species keep popping up as soon as there's some overstorey. They lap up the more intense storms we're having as the climate changes, and are slowly pushing back the invasive grasses with their denser cover. Looks like your ecosystem is making its own choices along those lines too.

Convinced. Do you see a way to by-pass the eucalyptus canopy due to fire risk? or is it crucial to establish your rainforest species? Would there be viable avenues for a historically grazed property to slowly phase out grazing altogether in place of agroforestry and some cropping with profits? And how would you balance fire risk in that scenario?

We've had a good experience with these growing chestnuts - I like that they can be recycled compared to bamboo which is basically one time use. My only gripe is that in windy spots they just flap in the wind, I think we had quite a few losses due to the flapping opening a hole around the base of the tree allowing air to reach the roots... We tried various angles, a second stake, but nothing would stop it (it was quite a windy site)

A few of the things that I appreciated was that you stuck to the nub of the issue; and you discussed a lot of relevant aspects that I had never knew about, that contribute to a "better end product". Also, you didn't try to be humorous, we'll leave that to professional comedians; and you didn't subject us to horrid background music. I learned a lot from watching your video.

It’s refreshing to see a forester actually looking to produce quality timber. Being a forester in the UK isn’t about producing timber… its about knowing the grant scheme’s which has incentivised management companies and land owners to plant for the grant money upfront rather than to produce timber and as a result there is a huge problem with overstocking, no pruning, no thinning and timber only suitable for firewood/biomass. The effects are going to be very bad in the next 10 years for softwood as the matured timber from yesteryears has been cut down and the restocking/maintenance from the last 40 years has been done to a very bad standard. The hardwoods have been in a bad way for a lot longer and over 80% of mature hardwoods cut are burnt as firewood.
