Branson Landing Logs Storage Yard Photos
| With
the hauling completed, the logs would be stored in the front yard at our
Design Studio. We typically allow the logs to season for about one
year before milling begins. This allows some of the species of the
trees to begin to spault. The spaulting is caused by fungus decay,
which is desired in our type of work because of the character and
coloration that it gives the wood.
The majority of the one acre front storage yard is covered with the 175 to 200 log sections hauled from the Branson Landing site. We placed the logs in double rows no more than two logs high to allow us to better handle the logs with our rough terrain fork lift. This layout also allows us to choose the order in which we prefer to mill the logs without sorting through piles. More information on the milling process for the larger logs can be found in the Sawing & Processing Gallery. Below are a few select photos of the logs in the storage yard. Each photo has a short description or comment. |
