That one was 40" on the fat end...

As far as slabs go, I can only go up to 26" wide.

This Mill has a 36" official capacity.....but I've sawed a 90" diameter log on this size mill before.....just had to quarter the log with a chainsaw first..... normally anything under 42" just gets the corner notched out so I can cut it with the mill, while stuff over 42" gets free- hand ripped with the chainsaw to make it fit on the mill.

It took us 4 hours to saw that beast up today.....with the help of the man's 955 Cat track loader...

It's a truly beautiful morning here in the Ozarks.

Y'all be good, and have a yourself a good day.

 

[Bryan Newton]

Good morning yall

 

[Sawdust Man]

Evening everybody....hope y'all had a good day.
We cut up a couple more big logs today.
All day long to cut two logs......about 1300 bf between the two of em.

I'm thinking I must be nuts doing this stuff with a non-hydraulic mill....






That's a 26" wide face, 17' long...

Those must be Kansas logs! Too big for Missouri!

And yes hydraulics would be great for that!

[Sawdust Man]

They're about as big as they come around here, and that's just fine with me....my back hurts.....

6 years ago 10 foot white oak log showed up in yard waste dump. Stump was 42" x 38" about 35" diameter topside. If I had a trailer etc. it wood have gone up to stave making company near I44 mid state. They buy only clear off stump @ $ 1 bf, IIRC. I still have 3 slabs 26 3/4" wide x 2 3/4 thick split the pith on one pair lol
Chainsaw milling, for fun n profit
That was the last year the city burned the wood,brush and branches

Good morning. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I am debating if this log would be a good saw log. Lots of twist at the base.

Maybe....my rule of thumb is, any visible defect on the outside of a log will probably be worse inside...
Twist can be anywhere from not a problem, to total garbage lumber.

I always tell people, "good logs usually make good lumber, and bad logs usually don't".

Good Morning makers of sawdust...

If it's not good lumber it'll still make heat. Prolly get the answer in 1st few cuts
