It is slow and very hard work using an upright bandsaw. And for 10' boards you're going to need at least 15' in front and behind the saw. If you are already setting up an Alaskan, you would be handling everything twice, and the time spent building tables/sledges would be better spent with the chainsaw mill. The advice above is also more sensible than using a shop B/S, hire a woodmizer or take it somewhere (Big J) that is set up for it. You would also be pushing your budget hard to get a B/S capable of doing much in a day cutting green timber. Remember you also need a very good extraction system on an upright B/S to extract wet dust, without which you'll quickly clag up your blades! Ian

I worked for the local council at the time, and worked for 4 months clearing trees around the local parks before they decided that they would send us on a chainsaw and brushcutter course. Fortunately though, I wasn't a muppet!! So much good timber wasted though.

The problem, as I see it, is the combination of CITES and EUTR, which became effective 3rd March last year (2013) where they count everything as place on the EU market, which at present includes the UK market! Due diligence is the key phrasing in that legislation. And anything in garden centres is exempt, as that would be regarded as 'unharvested'.

Laburnum bole for turning/milling, what's it worth ?
Ukulian replied to Gareth Smith's topic in Milling Forum
See if there are any Guitar makers / Luthiers in your area. It makes excellent fretboards and is a good substitute for rosewood in that area. Needs quarter sawing though. -
The Monkey Puzzle Tree (Araucaria araucana) is CITES listed Appendix 1. Which means it cannot be traded under any circumstances, nationally or internationally. With last years European Timber regulations requiring source information for timber products, anyone dealing with this species should be very wary. Sorry to put a downer on the thread!
