Custom made gooseneck for switch-n-go. The all sits 6” behind the rear axle however with this 30k trailer maxed out with a SVL 97, and 3 sycamore logs measuring 45” diameter x 10’ long, you would never guess it by how everything handles.

This weeks job in beautiful Sharon Connecticut. About 110 oak logs from 10’ to 20’ in length. Everything gets milled to the largest beam each log will allow on the LT50.

A good example of how wood will dry if the ends are not sealed. This white oak tree was cut down about 4 years ago and had been sitting waiting to be milled. By sealing the ends of a log, the moisture is kept from escaping too rapidly and allows for more even drying.

This podcast is excellent for anyone interested in working with wood. It’s extremely informative on many aspects of not only the lumber industry but also on the design, makeup, and qualities of different wood species. https://www.lumberupdate.com/ Shannon's Lumber Industry Update · 91 – Mobile Sawing with Sedmak Custom Contracting Mobile Sawing Brings the fun to you. Both from the homeowner and sawyer’s perspectives. How to work with the sawyer to get the best yield from your log. Thanks Shannon

The start of a white oak flooring project. We will be milling these 8’ & 10’ logs to 1 5/16” x 10 1/4”, hopefully ending with 5/4” x 10” for sending through our molder.

Not all logs that look bad are. Here are a few examples of logs that have been sitting around for 25+ years. This is now always the case however if the conditions are right, the log can be somewhat preserved leaving the inside with tons of character. If in question if a log is good, contact a local sawyer to have them come out and take a look. You never know what the inside may hold. Thanks for bringing this maple back to life.
