I think the Granberg Mini Mill to be the best of its kind. It has some adjustment built in for squaring, and the straightness of the cut is a function of the operator and his guide rail(mounted on a 2x6). I've squared cants with mine, and it cut true and square.
As for sharpening, I prefer hand sharpening to a grinder. I do mine freehand, but will admit that a clamp-on guide from Oregon, Granberg, or Stihl would make for a more consistent, evenly sharpened chain.
As for walnut and cherry,
I think them too valuable to be used for furniture to be exposed to the weather.
cherry crotch slab used as backdrop will be used for a live edge coffee table, and yes, that's fiddleback and not milling marks
edit: I'm not sure as to why I can't get this photo to display/figured it out and added photo
