Today i got some Corsican Pine as it was blown over in our 90mph gales we had here last week. I know Corsican Pine is a good timber tree but whats the timber good for?
Now how do i go about milling it to get good results? (have Alaskan MK3 on MS660) Is this the right approch or do some steps need modifying?
1. Get good log on some equal sized log to prop it up off the ground
2. Use a spirit level to get a 2x12 level for the top cut. Attach bits of wood under it until level.
3.Attach 2x12 as a guide for top cut, screw it down into the pine or into the end.
4. Set up mill to required depth
5.Cut the top cut.
6. Live saw from the level top cut to desired board sizes
Thanks for any help i really want to make a good job of this as i could get a lot more wood from the tree guys if i do.
