Your right Greg, but these are mostly the big heavy trunks that can go 16-24 feet with no branches or knots.
When the tree is down and I cut the 8ft lengths I try to trim any protrusions anyway. If there's one protrusion I'll roll the log when winching it onto the rollers so that it's facing up and won't hang up.
Maybe I'll find I can cut them to 10'8" and then junk up 8 pcs per log instead of 6. we'll see, it's all part of the design by building mindset.
Future progress to follow.
