More chainsaw milling

Just had an opportunity for some more chainsaw milling at the cabin my siblings and I inherited from our dad. Several trees on the property died from bark beetles, and we hired a professional to fell them. So I decided to take a crack at cutting some timbers. I managed to cut a 16 foot 8x8 and a 12 foot 8x8, but there's still a lot of board feet untouched. I'll probably look into hiring someone with a portable bandsaw, although word is that the market for lumber is so depressed, nobody really wants to cut it. Oh, well. Anyway, here are a few shots of the project.
