Faux Circular Sawing?

[hseII]

I'm serious about buying a mill, but if its a great big one, probably not for me. Thanks.

It’s either a 48” or 60” circle saw.

Thanks, a bit large for me.

Interesting viideo It's a smaller scale than I have in mind but is a definite help.

If you want to produce the circle sawn look on a large scale you need to use a circle mill. Either swingblade or one of the old moving log carriage style mills. If you don't want the cost of the mill you can find somebody that owns and runs one and buy the lumber from them, mark it up for your market and make a profit.

Trying to put the circle effect onto already milled lumber basically means remilling. Cost will at least be the same as a planning or moulding step if it is an extra process for the wood, another reason to see if you can just buy it with that finish on it.
