My log splitter is pictured below. I have been thinking about selling it. And I have been thinking about buying a timberking 1600 sawmill. What is everybodys thoughts on using a sawmill to produce firewood. I am thinking I would mill a 4x4 and then cut it to firewood length with a chainsaw. I'm thinking I would produce firewood a lot faster with a sawmill. I would also use the mill to mill wood for woodworking and portable saw milling service. I'm just wondering if it would be a waste to use a sawmill to do firewood. The only problem I for see is that if I get logs dropped off that are to short to put on the mill. I probably would just need a horizontal/vertical splitter. Anybody with a sawmill know on average how many board feet they get out of saw blades? I guess I can figure if it is worth it that way. What do you guys think?
