Quarter sawing with Alaskan part 2

[Rob D]

Here's part 2 of quarter sawing with chainsaw mills.

 

 

This is really to show that it can be done although it's a tough workout pushing the mini mill up the log so many times! I tend to like the mini mill for maybe 2 cuts max in a day. It doesn't help that my rail set up is desperately in need of a rebuild.

 

 

For the other half of the log left on the ground - not sure if this is possible to do. You could take another plank with the Alaskan and then firewood the rest. Or cut down the middle with the mini mill and split, then lift the quarters onto a couple of trestles. Then re saw with a small log mill (I'll be doing this in part 4).

 

 

Part 3 will be quarter sawing with the new Granberg mill which I have set up again with a log ready to go.
