Good morning!
Well, it looks as though I'll be doing some milling. I plan to build a second story airplane bunglow addition next year, and I have come upon the opportunity to take down a number of mature trees, which gave rise to the idea of some timber framing. I figure the Granberg Alaskan mill is the way to go, but not sure of the differences in Mk 2 or 3 and so forth. ALso, what saw is best (toughest) overall? Is a bandsaw setup at all practical, or should I stick with chainsaws? I'm a pretty diehard Stihl loyalist, and was wondering if it's worthwhile to get an 076 with all the part availability issues.
Thanks for being willing to advise me!
