milling saws

[Bogoak]

Poplars great for worktops +shelving, also good for truck/trailer beds as it's quite impact resistant. If you get carried away with the milling you could have a go at matches?

 

Matches, hmmm, that should keep me busy. Thanks:001_smile:

How do I stop my boards doing this

if the bowing has happened after you re cut it there is nothing you can do.

 

for the splitting you need to split the tree down the pith to allow for radial shrinkage and minimise splits.

 

when you cut a board that has the pith in it then expect to loose it or rip it down the middle when dry.

Thanks for the advice. Just picked up my 050 this evening so looking forward to getting the mill and having a crack. The 050 is a real throwback - it has a duromatic 30'' bar with 'made in West Germany' stamped on it. Made me laugh
