I've got some monster hemlock at one of my other properties I'd turn into dimensional lumber. There is enough there for a few houses. The pine I'd leave as boards for a future addition - if I could get some 2ft wide boards out of it I'd use them vertically on the interior walls like was done in the living room fireplace wall of the original house.
Very nice.
Not that I'd cut those hemlock. I'm more likely to just sell the property with the standing hemlock ... but if I were to build a new house I'd have enough hemlock and pine boards if I scavenged the tall pines off the house lot and the tall hemlock off tha other property, sawed them up. Do you ever watch ? He's got a big Wood Miser sawmill and a telehandler to handle the logs, makes his own furnitute from the massive slabs.
No I haven't seen him, I've watched a couple others. I'll check it out thanks. There was a guy at my workplace who would come and pick some oversize short logs out to make guitars.
