Their is some very nice, big rays in this wood. After I got going
kind of forgot about pictures, until I was done, then I was to tired
to mess with pulling them out.

I don't use MM that much........but it is very handy when needed.

Thanks,
Gary

Great job Gary, some nice pics of the M7 and mini-mill for folks to see. Nice lookin' trailer load of oak showing results. You said some nice rays in that oak, did you try and quarter any to get some of the quartersawn figure? I know it often takes some extra time and fussing to do that, and sometimes I just want to get the job done and don't go that extra mile. Thanks for taking the time to take and post those pics.

 

[Trigger-Time]

Just for you Woodshop and yes quartersawn is
more trouble!

Well done, you've got some beautiful looking planks there.

Nice lumber

How long did it take you to mill the logs? What chain are you using? Is the big saw a 066.

I am trying to compare what you have to what I have. I have always thought I took along time cutting boards but I never had anyone to compare to until I came to this site.
Thanks

Nice lumber

How long did it take you to mill the logs? Not sure, had to go help my Dad in the middle of milling. I have timed cuts before, but not this time.

What chain are you using? 20" bar and shorter, Stihl 63pmx ripping chain and Picco PM .050, I bought an Picco sprocket from Logosol to run on 066/660

Is the big saw a 066? Yes, I bought an Picco sprocket from Logosol

I do like the Picco chain. Kerf is .250...........Reg. .375 chain
has about .375 kerf

Love that M7 Gary,

Really can do some very useable lumber right off the mill without having too resaw. Cool

WOW look at those rays jump out... beautiful Qsawn stuff. I'm sure you're glad you took the time to do that, great job. Just imagine how great boards like these will look after they've been dried, run through the planer and finished with something like Watco Danish oil. Very nice stuff.

Yes.......and next thing I need to mill, lumber for a drying shed. I have
the buggy in front of the horse again.:bang:

For grins, smeared some Poly Wipe on one end (top) and Tung Oil on
other end of scrap piece.
