Here's the story. I friend needed a good sized coastal pine (SW Washington) taken down last year. As spring came around he decided to pull the stump. His imagination kicked in. He decided to try and make a a drinkin' table next to the fire pit, with the stump up side down. Neat idea. I offered to get my c-saw mill out and help him with this. It's not pretty but it was a fun job to experiment. I used my Stihl 076 Super with a Cannon 33" bar. I used my Alaska Mark III mill for a couple cuts then free-handed the rest. The 36" mill just wouldn't fit well for all the cuts. My full wrap handle interfered a lot too. I removed the dogs to get more cutting room with the mill. After I removed the mill, I needed one dog to get leverage for cutting these roots. This was a first so, here it is. My friend continues to peel all the bark off and plans to try and prevent much cracking by sealing it. Not sure yet what he plan to do. Has anyone else done this?
After the cutting was done, he sprayed water over all to see the grain. He is now debarking as much as he can and sanding the flats as much as he can. Some folks are actually wanting to buy it. Not happening. Fun idea though.
This is my first thread to start, so bear with me to get pictures posted.
