Side note - cortico-steriods can increase blood sugar in diabetics. I've got poisen ivy on a tree in my yard, I sprayed it and everything above where I couldn't reach still lives on. What's the best way to kill it?

Regarding kick back, I always try to position myself so that if it does kick back my head isn't in the path of where it's going to go. All I have to to is envision the thing popping back and hitting me right between the eyes and remember to I move my head to the side.

DOH! Bigger bar?

I know nothing of lathes so feel free to ignore me, but personally, any tool brand with the word "value" in it can't be that great. But for $150? Why not?

Sell some of them pretty boards and get a bigger saw. :chainsawguy: Just a thought.

Every once in awhile government actually works. I think it's a trick to keep our hopes up.

Good lord that's a big chunk of oak. I'm an idiot when it comes to such big stuff so don't laugh too hard, but do you have enough room to roll the logs after you buck it? You could quarter it by hand or with the Haddon and still get some 40" plus slabs.

Makes sense. So depending on where and how deep, you may or may not turn it.

I'm a greenhorn so don't be too hard on me, but why did you turn the log after finding the ants?

Where I'm living, if the power lines are threatened the power company will take the tree down for free. Might at least be worth a call to them.

The leaf inlays are very cool. Do they help splitting like the bow ties? I don't like the way the bow ties interrupt the flow of the grain and inlays like this could be more aesthetically pleasing.

These off beat species are really the ones I want to get into milling. Maple and walnut are plentiful around here, and while they are beautiful, they aren't as interesting. Is there any convenient place on the web I can learn more about these?

LOL. I meant they would not think it was so good for the highway. Looks great for around the farm.

That's cool! But I think the state troopers would frown on it.

Holy crap. Thats one big mofo!

Anyone got plans/blueprints to build a trailer?

Black walnut? In California?

Is the problem with rounds splitting because of shrink rates are uneven or shrink amounts are uneven. If the rim shrinks more in the end then it will always crack. Since I'm thinking the direction of the shrinkage is along the ring and it is proportional to the length, then the outer edges...

Didn't ask about a 660. Going to go back again on Saturday. This would be used almost exclusively with the 36 inch Alaskan I recently picked up. I'm gonna see if they have a deal on a splitter, too.

Cool stuff. That's a scary thing, that big old blade spinning around.
