Here's my latest interpretation of another Chippendale piece.
The original is a Boston Style Chest on Chest.
The Walnut is air dried and seasoned for about 5 yrs.
This tree was a Township tree that came down in a storm.
I milled it with one of those "Haddon Lumber Maker" things and a Crapsman
18" saw.
That was before I got the 395xp and the Alasken.
With that rig I was able to consistently get 14" boards and milled logs up to
about 26" (albeit with a lot of turning).
The point is, you can do a lot with a little, just to get started in milling.
