Today's milling

[Rough Hewn]

Days Milling for a local Chainsaw Carver maxing out the mill. The new Log Turner earned its keep by easily flipping the logs over.

First log was a 24” Walnut, unfortunately it was rotten and had Shake.

Nice rig Andy [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Today started with more robinia,
Followed this afternoon with a nice 6’x2’ oak with a nice little surprise inside.
As usual my go to set up: stihl 880 and the 60” panther mill for general slabbing.

Just some small oak slabs from the weekend - 69” at widest point. Decided not to bother with the second power head (often get issues with chain tension when running both) but I prefer it to a helper handle for balance and the fact it’ll still oil

I have the same problem, that or they un-stack a nice neat stack just to get to the bottom boards and then leave me to re-stack!?
