Lotta fun... best guess is about 20k. If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

All said and done... between the logs, mill time and local boys helping with the labor... 4/4 (plus and 1/8th) lumber came out cheaper than T1-11... or OSB. Lotta fun... but did go thru a touch of bourbon to ease the back pain. Even have a bunch over 21". B&B mostly... some 9/4 as plank flooring and some 13/4 for rafters. We will move and stick on the mountain once the roads are passable.

I have always heard that stickering/air drying is good for about an inch thickness per year, in good conditions.

White Pine 100% for me. Best logs out of a 40 acre cut. Bill held back a couple dozen 12 footers for his needs. He ran a combo of WP, Bull Pine and Hemlock. In the South we call it SYP, but they call it Bull... FYI, mathematically it is 18% stronger than WP... I reckon that is why. Hemlock is a weird wood. I had never messed with it before. Under $0.50 a BF to make this lumber... It is good to have friends that log.

I have always heard that stickering/air drying is good for about an inch thickness per year, in good conditions. That one year per inch is a general rule for hardwoods, but stickered properly on our mountain... WP should be G2G by June/July. The 9/4 planking... is more of a "we will see" kinda thing. Great sun and wind on the mountain... but the roads are nasty right now... lost a dump truck of milling in a ditch on Tuesday... gonna take the dozer to get her out I reckon. Slit frost melt/rain.

White Pine here too, scarce though, I don't know much about it, smells great. Hemlock, we have alot of it, but when it gets bigger 3ft+, it seems to rot and is often used for pulp. When I was falling steady we would log entire blocks for pulp, it was the most dangerous bush to work in, sometimes you just started to cut a tree and it would start to fall. The smaller stuff was always sound, makes great lumber, I think it is often used for windows.

He said he would lose more as it dried. He told me it is a sheathing product ONLY... i.e. never vertical load Hemlock. I have no idea about Hemlock personally.
