    Ill try your angle split. Regarding waste, any waste will be firewood, so shouldnt be a problem. I wonder if this type og planks are sellable at a higher price than normal planks?

    I found this old dog for cheap. 40 hp diesel, hydraulics front and rear, I really like it. It will go down narrow paths and be tolerated on public roads here in DK. Wonder if you have these things in UK? http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/arb-trucks/68089-easy-wheels-logs.html

    Didnt happen. -yet. I think it could work for 1 meter pieces as you say. Want them longer to fetch better price. Seems they should be split from the end, if thats the case, then the klyv needs to lie down. My logs are 60-80 cm diameter spruce with very little knots. How the vikings did it: Vikingeskibsmuseet Roskilde: Smidige planker

    Im looking into something crazy; Chopping firewood hardly gives you butter on the bread, so why not try to add value to the material. Not having a proper mill for cutting logs, I thought of the vikings. They took their axe and split the log, making what we call mirror-split planks. If one couldget Ingmars klyv to split the logs in, say lenghts of 3 meters, one could mill these rough planks on the little circular saw. Got the idea? Cheers, John

    Thanks for replies and welcome. I got the idea here, (Log Rite Junior), [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0XL9-jTP4E]LogRite Junior log Arch Demo - YouTube[/ame] Nice handy tool also for smaller trees. The tractor came from a school, had a rotating broom, for snow and stuff. Its German yes, with a VW 1,5 diesel off a Passat, 1980 ish. 1700 hours on the clock, no blue smoke ;-) Im in central Denmark, 40 km east of Aarhus. Working a bit for neighbours, enjoying to work in our National Park Mols Bjerge...
