River Red Gum Eucalyptus Milling II: Big Logs

This huge tree trunk was too big to be put directly on the sawmill. In this video you can see the Viable Lumber team using a grapple truck to move large logs (branches) into position for the sawmill. Then we turn our attention to the trunk (the ends are painted to keep the wood from splitting). Enormous slabs are cut off the end of the trunk and have to be moved by the grapple truck. Then the rest of the trunk is quartered with a large chain saw to create four large logs that will fit onto the sawmill.
