Pine to be Dropped for Milling

[lukem]

This one was the most diffcult and readjusted it in about 10 min's.

Yea Jay, the cherry I milled was very irregular with a big hump, it was not a big deal but had to cut deep on the first cut to make up for the hump. I had not ever thought about saving a Y but I saw the finished product and it does add an interest factor.

I've never used a CSM, but when milling with a band-saw-mill sometimes it is easier to "freehand" cut the big humps and bumps off with the chainsaw. I imagine the same would apply with a CSM.

Yep on the other site, but it was getting in the high 50's at night so that is why I threw that in about burning wood and not burningwood.

Yup,I do that all the time when dealing with otherwise nice 3-4 ft long pieces.Saves lots of hassles later on.Sharp chain,steady hands,paying attention I can stay within 1/8" of that sharpie or crayon line for those smaller pieces.Move your arms,but keep feet planted in same spot otherwise you'll mess it up.
