No, onto the waste log pile it went!

A lot of timber in that.  I glanced at the first pic and wondered which of the three trees you were referring to!

Here’s the thing.

In order to move the wood it needs to be stacked across the trailer so when I tip it it rolls out, so has to be approx 1.7 mètres length (not much use for milling)

If I put it length ways it’s difficult, though not impossible, to tip out. 

I use the trailer to transport the machine so if the Avant is on site I can’t use it to unload back at base.

 

You have made me think about the possibilities though, so fair play.

I understand the problem.  As a miller I always buy cedar of Lebanon and the other true cedars as they are a miller’s dream.  Quick to dry, durable, beautiful and stable.  
 

And though I agree longer pieces would be even better, you should find a good market for 1.7m boards.  When I buy a 3.7m log, I generally chop it into a 2.5m and 1.2m piece prior to milling.
