I am thank you . . . sort of . . . the healing is taking just too much time for my liking. My back surgeon says it looks just fine.

Todays foray for me, about 93 out. Big (for me ) pine log about 22" dia. First sliced off the outer flitches, then next slice was 5/4 boards for stair treads to my sniper tower.
The rest I decided to slice into basic lumber stock to have around, 8' - 2x6's and 2x4's.. And at the bottom of my 2 2x4 stacks I found a couple 4x4's.. bonus!!
So here are my "Beams" one for the 2x6's on the saw and 2 for 2x4's on the forks (but no thumb though ;-) )
Got the 2x6's cut up, time for the 2x4's..
And the fruits of the day..

Yes the older I get the longer the healing process is! Do what the DR says and you'll be good in no time.
Wish I had a foray, what year is yours.......... I thought flitches was the boards that needs to be edge.

Happy to here the doc thinks all is good and you getting ansi is also a good sign but from my experiences with backs the biggest risk is feeling better than you really are. Then you go and do something, just a tiny little bit, that is on the no-no list and uh-oh......... You don't need me to tell you to be patient though.

Not sure on the year, sorry. And I might be using the wrong terminology , I thought the flitch was the first outermost part taken off.. and the boards that need to be edged are the pain in the butts!!
I call the first cuts, slabs. Yest pain in behind, back, neck, fingers, feet, but is a good way to get stickers and fire starters.

I did say "most stumps" and "usually". Depends on size, type of tree, soil, etc, etc. If you get a good kill with the herbicide it seems to speed it up. I have one old pine stump that has been standing about 30+ years in East Texas red clay. Every time I see it I give it a kick and its been solid as a rock. Why that one has stood so long I don't know.
I cut a stand of china berry trees down a few years back and didn't have anything with me right then but some red barn paint. So I painted the stumps with it. I bet those stumps didn't last a year. When I went back looking for them I could not find them. Some of them were 12"+ at the ground and the trees were green, leafy when cut.

Outermost, are slabs, then the boards with bark on them are flitches...BUT some call them live edge when they sell them that way. Once you have all the slabs/flitches off, you have a cant.
I knew what you meant though...
