Hemlock keeps a lot better than pine or spruce, so you've got that going for you.I should have known since in my past log sales [white pine] I recall them saying only a handful of 8's was acceptable.
Oh well, when I get my future sawmill, I will have plenty of practice logs.
Mills here don't like 10 foot either, if we could send all 16' logs they would be happy.
For a few days.
