Today's milling

[AHPP]

Are you milling uphill or threading the bar through each cut?

[organic guy]

No, we milled it downhill, just let it go and it ran down of its own accord.

Issue was we had to gouge a hole to get the saw in at the top. We have now managed to cut the bottom end off so I am thinking we will now support under the top end with some longs and mill uphill so we can cut right up to the butt and plank most of the trunk without having to cut the butt off. 

Do you think that will work?

Can’t see why not but I’m no expert. You won’t cut the last 8 or so inches if there’s a stump in the way. It’ll be unpleasant going uphill.
