A couple of years back I got about 12 timbers that had been buried in a creek. They were from a grist mill that collapsed into the creek in the early 1900's. The mill was built around 1880. Guy asked me to mill the wood so they could build tables for the family farm out of it. Of course it was...

Did you notice the the thread was 6 years old...... if he bought it he must have lots of experience with it by now!!!

Cherry is my favorite wood to work with. I milled mine just like you are doing. It makes for some beautiful finished stuff. Made my wife and daughters a jewelry chest with nothing but the cherry I milled.... From milled wood to finished product.

Sounds like you may need a bit more tension on the blade too.

Good find on the course. I'm a one man show. So figuring out how to get the logs home were always a wonder! Found this Auto Crane on craigs list for $400. Best thing I ever bought. Added it to my 16 foot trailer and now can do it all alone. LOL Here's my set up...

I'm a little slow OC. Sorry

I believe he said 25 "foot" long and 6x6....but your right, when dry will be strong

Hit a nerve on this topic. I've got about 8 different styles of cans. Mostly 5 gals. None are worth a darn. The "can" (plastic) is ok. It's the spouts that are crap!!! :angry: Most have different thread sizes and replacement spouts are junk. Sounds like "no-spill" cans might be a possibility...

danieltree, where are you located in Covington. I'm in Covington too. Where did you get the camphor log. I've never seen one around here unless it goes by another name? Cherry is my all time favorite wood. Always on the lookout for some. It's just a hobby for me though. And, geaux Saints.

Good to see the problem AND the solution. Nice job!!

Find a 24 footer and you won't have to worry about all this!! Easy for me to say, though.

Great pics. Keep them coming. Like to see how "ideas" actually turn out. Good work so far.

Covington, Louisiana 25 miles north of New Orleans. Come on down!!!

Thank you Brmorgan....................

Looks like you were sawing down hill. That had to make it much easier! Great pics.

For the money, you can't beat this: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93213 But you have to take the chain off the saw to sharpen. If you're like me I have lots of extra chains. I may sharpen a bunch at a time. This sharpens better then the local shop that...

Great pics. Don't ya just love taking that board off and seeing what's under there? And, the smell, that addictive!! What you plan on building? Harry

Nice logs. But I'm not sure if I like the fork lift better!!!:hmm3grin2orange:

My guess is that it will warp and split some. What's your plans for it? Harry
