After three days removing the low growth, non-merchantable trees and loggable firs, which produced over 100 yards of chips, this video covers dropping a few of the sticks and some of the lot clearing, performed by Ken's Excavating. Might be able to spot some of my sloppy moves. The last drop isn't included as it was still drizzling. Good thing, as I missed my gun and slammed a stump, breaking the top 35 feet of the log. Most of the logs had minor defects ranging from a bit of core decay, ring shake, pitch pockets, sweep, oversize knots, and off center hearts. Hopefully, the mill deductions aren't too big..... We sent them to Buse Timber in Everett. Guessing 4800-5500 board feet, from five trees.
