As for long length logs, I have recovered river logs locally that were 36'. I am sure there are more. They were cut with an axe on the butts. I hauled them, a mixture of lengths, home on a 16' trailer, the 36' stick dragged on the road the whole way and was flattened on the tip. It now resides in my mill building as part of a 60' top plate.

I have never seen a up and down saw in full production. Only at a reduced speed at Kings Landing in New Brunswick, CA. I should visit Leonards Mills in Old Town, I have never been.

It is a great exchange, I want to know where these long sawn members come from and how. Tim
