A few other things. As soon as you drop the tree and buck the logs, endcoat them with anchorseal, this wll limit/prevent end checks. This is especially important in some spiecies of wood such as white ash. Mill them ASAP to prevent both rot and infestation with insects. Stack and sticker them to allow drying and prevent mold/stain.

I note that you mention pine (white?). Pine left with the bark on will rot and also attract bugs, especially if left on the ground. It is usually felled/milled in the winter as it is very susceptible to blue stain if green logs are allowed to sit in warm weather.

I live in Williamstown and grew up in/have my mill in Lenox. Where are you? I might be milling some stuff in the next few months (flat sawn black cherry and maybe some Ash lumber/cants. If you might want to watch let me know.
