Decided to start a new thread for this. Just curious if anyone has some good pointers on making beams that won't warp or twist ( i'm assuming they have to be boxed heartwood) with a regular alaskan style mill (I have a GB). It seems like the real trick would be getting the center at the end of each log would you forget the level and measure up to set the rails on your far end or maybe a better bet walk you rig to each end to make sure the cut comes out where you want? I'm sure this might require turning the log at least once to get a couple of flat surfaces. I will try it myself either way I am just looking for pointers and hate to screw up a log learning. I know a vertical mini-mill or beam machine would be easier but i'm sure someone here has done it. thanks everyone irishcountry
