What happens here

This project details the process of transforming a large red oak tree into usable lumber using a portable sawmill. It involves felling the tree, cutting it into transportable logs, using heavy machinery like a skid steer with a log grapple for handling, and finally milling the logs into various lumber sizes such as 6x6 posts and 1x6 boards.
