Here is a doug fir log ,notice how the heart of the tree is off center ,when they grow like this the lumber ends up being less stable ,and more likely to bend while drying after cut sawmill 016.jpg sawmill 019.jpg sawmill 018.jpg sawmill 017.jpg

These images were when i was running a .050 guage bar ,and i do not run the aux oiler anymore with the .404 chain and .063 groove ,the .404 carries much more oil so do not need it
 
It appears you have to drill your bar for the auxillary oiler, is this correct?
Yes ,i drill the tip of the bar below the sprocket area ,you lose 3-4 inches of bar cutting ability with the aux oiler kit .
This image shows were to drill the bar tip mill 262.jpg
