Once the Doug firs get to what I call old growth age the bark gets very thick. Not on young trees. Growing up we saved it to burn on cold days.

And it can be fully automated... seen some fine examples in Austria were pellets are bought by the truck load and dumped into a small single garage sized room and transported to the stove with by vacuum... done right it can last many weeks with zero attention... also provides hot water in addition to radiant heat... these installs were in modest very old homes... in the country side...
The Vacuum aspect is what intrigued me...

Yes I know what you mean. Not all my larger ones look like that, some look completely different but mine are Ash. There are different types of Ash but I can't seem to identify one from the other constantly. Also I have large basswoods that look like that also. Sometimes I've mistaken them as Ash especially if the leaves are off.
What's intriguing about vacuum? What intrigues me about pellet stoves is they get rid of the ow factor but still gives that wood burning sensation............

Thanks to all that enjoyed my picts of the BEST Am. Blk. Cherry, I've ever milled!! Yes, the lumber is flat and I do still have it!
It was the "butt" log, here's the next log up! It's 8' 6", and is another spectacular log!
I really didn't think it would be all that great, but it was a pleasant surprise as I opened and turned it,
I grade sawed this one too, and check out the lumber coming off the mill!
even some of the lower grade boards, have spectacular figure!
I thought the tally was pretty good, for this upper log!
What a great tree that was!

Nice looking lumber SR. What are you planing on doing with that cherry?
Furniture wood for someone I presume, and how come you didn't finish edging the boards?

The sun was really bright this afternoon and right at eye level. I took down a dead sugar right behind the house, the term rock maple is not exaggerated I notice it cut harder then a regular maple. Got one video the other three are in process, it's a long process.

In the end, I'll make a variety of things with the lumber, and because I have no idea of what that will be, I always mill it in a variety of ways, including leaving some bark on a few...
I have a second story room over my shop, and the 20' 6 log will make trim that will go corner to corner of that room!
Here's the Blk. Cherry being skidded out...
