[SEL] RE: SIAM Classic Iron

[Keith Kinney]

I don't have a source for the cedar logs and your right, the smell 
and color are nice.  But, this winter dad and I started clearing a 
field that had not been cropped for about 15 years.  It had grown up 
with a bunch of 4-6" trees.  We cut them in 8-12' lengths and set 
them aside planning on cutting them into firewood, or disks, at the 
SIAM show.  We have a large pickup load.  With at least 3 saw rigs 
going we should be able to cut them into fire wood in about a half 
hour.:-)  With disks and less aggressive cutting they should last the weekend.

Who all is planning on coming to SIAM?  So far I know of Curt, Mike, 
Glenn, Andy and myself.  Any others?
