I messed up!!Felling and prepping big oak for Sawmill
What happens here
The felled tree trunk is measured with a tape measure to identify suitable lengths for lumber (e.g., 8-foot sections, 16-foot sections). The end of the tape measure is placed at one end of the log, and the desired cut points are marked clearly on the bark using orange spray paint. This ensures precise cuts for consistent lumber sizes and efficient use of the timber. The presenter shows marking for an 8-foot section, a 16-foot section, and another 8-foot section, noting areas of rot.
Goal: After the tree has fallen, measure and mark the trunk into desired lengths for milling and firewood, using a tape measure and marking paint.
