Loaded up on White Pine at the mill today...

[Mark Vanderhoof]

Im fortunate to have a friend who owns a mill here locally. They cut down huge pines every now and then. He called me recently and told me he had a beauty so i jumped on it and we cut it up today. Ended up with 192 board feet from one log! Log was 28" in diameter and he had another log there that was 32"! Beautiful stuff, very few knots, straight grain. Thought id share a few pics. Had fun milling this one...

That's some pretty stuff. Never seen it with so few branches/knots.
