He offered me a black cherry tree to cut down and mill into lumber. Yesterday, we took my trailer down to his place and picked out a nice tree at about 22" DBH. It fell right where he intended and we got 4 logs at 9.5 ft long before the major fudge , one lead from which was broken off.[/font]

We drug the logs out with his tractor and I loaded two of them onto my trailer with my arch/winch system.

What a great day. We'll go back for the other two logs in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait to mill them. There's no black cherry where I live, so this is a real treat.
