I'm taking the Nov 17 & 18 class. Just bought my plane tix last night. I know a lot if not all my Q's will be answered in class but I want to come as prepared as possible. I own land outside Boulder Colorado and am trying to figure out how many useable logs I have on site. It's lodge poles and ponderosas (a few white pine but they are usually small). I've had a hard time finding out about lodgepoles. The bark on them seems very thin. If I dont have to take much off to debark I will have a lot more trees of useable diam. Also havent been able to find much info on rot resistance and strength of lodge poles. Anyone know if they are similar to another species? They sure are straight as an arrow and growing close so the have no lower limbs. Any issues with using mixed log species in butt and pass? I wouldn't think so from what I've read. Any info would be realy helpfull.
