Better method of chainsaw milling

[Dan Curtis]

Cheers - idea is to take 14" off the top then mill as the blue lines show.

 

 

 

I've used nearly the same method today milling a 40" or so Oak log. I free cut the two sides off to get the width down to my mill size (36"). Took a 6" through sawn board off the top to use as an outdoor table top, boy was that heavy!

 

After this I took a 14" slab the full width, flipped it sideways and ran it into 3" boards. It's got some great burring and figuring. I'll post pics tomorrow.

 

This was a log that we quoted about 13 months ago but lost on price. They got another contractor who made 4 cuts and never came back. :what:

A few I've been sent by the guy I was working with. I have some more of the end product on my camera I'll sort out when I get to a pc.

 

I now just need a mini mill and an 090

I like that Dan.

More character than a 'perfect' piece.

I slightly fell in love with the beam. 10"x6"x8'
