Hi I used Rustins water based lacquer on a walnut dining table and on the test piece I did a hot coffee cup test and it didnt even touch it and no complaints from the customer months later maybe give that a go , good luck and happy new year cheers Mark

Nice big saw coool , but a sprocket nosed bar should be a must , I was getting alot of chain tension probs with my 880 with a 4 ft bar with a solid nosed bar until Rob D sorted me with a sprocket nosed bar (thanks Rob) just passing on my experiences , good luck milling is addictive Happy Christmas Mark

Hi Ian you could get some coloured wood stain they do it in bright colours that will show the grain nicely why not try one , I think a big one say 3/4 ft tall would be cool

Hi Blaisey I have been wondering about using a floor sander how quick are they and can you change the grit on them never even used one but seems like making life easy Cheers Mark
-
Whats so wrong with chainsaw milling , 12x2 or 16x2 would be of alot more use to a wider range of people but I make tables so I would say that
-
Hi the only thing with the turbo saw is how wide a cut can you do I know you can cut from both sides to get a wider board but if you have an alaskan it seems a shame not to get the full width even if you just do the widest buts that way , then you are not just selling wood turning blanks as I think you would have to sell alot of them to make any good money but I love my alaskan so I may be biased good luck with which ever way you choose some pics would be good Cheers Mark

Hi I am not surewhat the prob could be as walnut is a very stable timber was it a very hot day and thebut very green is the only thing I can think , paint the ends with p v a glue as soon as milled will help , sorry cant be any bigger help , good luck with the rest Cheers Mark
