Milling Books

[Dorset Treeman]

Just ordered my alaskan mill from Rob D's site, Very excited:biggrin:

 

Can anyone recommend any milling books that help with milling different species, drying, storing etc. I was hoping to use books, along with the wealth of knowledge on here

THE book is Chainsaw Lumbermaking by Will Malloff. A classic, but really useful.

Second that book, it's great. If you search for it you can download a free pdf of it.

There are one or two good books that might help, see if you can get them in at your local library -

 

The conversion & Seasoning of Wood - William H Brown ISBN 0-85442-037-1 (best book I've come across...)

Fine Woodworking on Wood and How to Dry It, this is a collection of articles. Might be able to pull off individual articles from their website, subscription necessary for some access levels.

Harvesting Urban Timber A Complete Guide - Sam Sherrill
