[cosworth]

some oak butts we had on the yard needed milling to big for the logosol

Just made me want one even more now

 

I don't know much about it so can't comment on what you have done,

 

But looks good mate:thumbup1:

Also reminds me - I must clean my alaskan

[cosworth]

Some great pics there thanks for posting!

 

 

I still sit back after cutting some meaty planks like this and think that it's pretty amazing what a chainsaw can do...

 

 

Did you saw these all with the Alaskan or re saw them with the Logosol? If with the Logosol could you put on some pics as I often have Logosol owners asking if the Alaskan is worth having for milling larger butts.

i have a 36" alaskan! you have a done a great job mate! lovely piece of wood too!!!!

cosworth, you say the buts are too large for your logosol, have you not seen the trick some of our american friends have come up with, turn the box upside down, IE, place the but on the deck, then mount the m7 upside down onto the log, much better than the alaskan, youve got all the adjustments of the m7, the straght guide beam and the wasy to wind handle, it does work, Ive tried it on some large beech buts, needed a 36" bar but it cut them no problem, youve just got to arrange some method of lifting off the slabs, (fortunately Ive got the hiab on the mog) think about your cutting sequences and youll be surprised what you can cut with the logosol

Just a quick one. Im new at this milling and i want to make some nice garden furninture. Picnic benches and the like. When the wood is planked, how do you stop it from splitting when its drying??????
