My neighbor has a row of red pines across the road from our place and a few of them have been dying. I was able to get 3 butt logs and one second tier log - about 12-14 inches diameter and have been making mostly 2x4s and 1x8s out of them with the somewhat hazy purpose of making a playhouse or chicken coop for our daughter. I feel like a real sawyer doing this kind of stuff. Mostly I use the mill to slab up hardwoods to make turning blanks.
I don't have pictures of the finished lumber because I embarrassed at my slovenly stickering and stacking. It is stickered and stacked, but it's no very neat or level.
Of course, the one picture I have is of the one second tier log I milled which was pretty ugly but I did get several 1x8s from it.
