I did this once for a GTG in Iowa. We cut about 8 cants in a day and we where done.

Best method is pretty much what you described. Mill a flat with the Alaskan, slab a side off with the mini, cut the bottom off with the Alaskan, and then roll and cut the bottom off again with the Alaskan. On the bottom cuts make sure to keep your log supports out of the way and use lots of wedges.

There's got to be a better way... Isn't there a device for cutting beams?

Maybe I can just pick up a band mill and have Towmas haul it down to TN for the weekend..
Lol.

Yup, a bandsaw works great especially with something to load it.

Maybe we could get Alan to drive, and I can sleep in the back seat. Lol.

If I don't have a band mill by then, we'll bring the alaskan mill.

That’s the week of the World Percheron Congress in Des Moines and I’ll be divorced if I went chainsaw racing instead of showing horses with my wife

Well that sucks but I totally understand

My friend Deno has a band saw.......I could probably get him to come set up on Friday. We could have a Bandsaw VS Alaskan race.
