Wood you cut this?

[woodmills1]

I know that many of you don't get into the sawmill thing, but here is a cut off from a bone of a log that was still to heavy for my loader. The question is do you think the 9 foot cut off is worth sawing on the mill?

Here is a second shot that shows the 19, 17, 16, 15, 14 and smaller boards I got from this bone and two other logs that were just as bad.

If you need the wood looks like you saved a good ammount of money!

I make wood products here is a shot of some othe boney stuff I cut and then the 4x4 product I get from it.

Long time no post from you. Sure nice to see lumber from what is considered non mill trees.

I cut a little but only have a chain saw. Then have to use band saw and planer/ jointer to get it to flat and square. A long process. I'm thinking of making a guide for the chain saw so that I can make square pieces that will then fit through my bandsaw. Most of the stuff I work with wouldn't fit a mill. When I get organized, Maybe this winter, I'll get enough cut and get someone with a mill in. They charge around $45.00 an hour around here. More if they hit metal.

Egon-Never used one, but they make chainsaw sawmills. You attach a chainsaw to a frame and use it to cut logs into boards. Do a search on the internet for chainsaw sawmills. Might be just what you need for small time cutting.

ani't no such thing as junk logs, as anybody that has tried to buy lumber latley can attest to /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I've looked at the chainsaw mills. What I'm thinking about is more like an edger that will be able to square up a log. My saw isn't large enough [ Husky 362 ] to properly mill logs.
