    Big Wood

    How's this for a chunk of wood? Imagine getting this for free, and having it delivered right to your door.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.

          The same 1950 International L210 Hauling this Enormous Spruce out of Euchre Creek, a tributary of the Siletz River. It was logged in 1956 by Johnny Yasek. The log took two cats and a arch to move the log from its original location to the landing. The log was to large to be loaded with the tongs of the line machine, so they had to use straps and load the log onto the truck one end at a time. The Truck was owned and operated by Dewey Goodell, whom said that it was the largest log he had ever hauled on his truck. The log had a 13 ft diameter at the butt end which made it to large to go under the railroad trestle that at the time crossed the Siletz highway at the top of Newton Hill. The took the log to the shop at Sams Creek where it was later loaded onto a rail car and hauled to the sawmill in Toledo Oregon.

          I think history would have been very much different if Leonardi DiVinci had a belt sander.
