Looking to try milling for the first time at some point in the week and looking to build a mantle for one of my fireplaces. I have some Walnut, Cherry, and Ash available. Does anyone think any of these choices would make a good mantle? I built a beam machine today and borrowed a friends Alaskan Small Log Mill as well. Hopefully between the two I can get a mantle made. I have a MS660 that isn't broken in yet that is muffler modded and an 036 that's muffler modded to choose from. I just bought a Stihl 24" Full Chisel chain and planning on grinding the teeth to 10 degrees for ripping. I plan to run 25:1 oil/fuel ratio. Anything I else I need to look into before letting the dust fly?
