Trouble Getting This Hickory Down

Pignut hickory germinated before WW2 died last summer. It was competing with an oak & winning in the center of canopy. Used chainsaws and rope saws and a tractor to fall it aways from the kid's fort. Charted the growth rings. Made some beautiful hickory planks.

Used tractor grapple, chainsaw, Foley Belsaw M-14 circle sawmill. Triple T Ranch & Sawmill on Choctaw Ridge is homesteading with a sawmill & anvil.
