Turning Trees to Timber Manual

I came across this manual written for 3rd world countries on using chainsaw mills and others. Has some useful info in it.

Howdy and welcome!

I checked out your website. Nice turnings. My brother and I are in the process of starting a similar opperation. There's a lot of potential out there.

Hi aggie and thanks for the welcome.
yes i'll be teaming up with a buddy of mine who's got soem warehouse space for storage. he's also a great herbalist and fellow conservationist,

a good site i found form soemoen on either woodcentral or bt3central was this one. http://www.scottbanbury.com/treecycling.html
i'll have to write this fella sometime and see if they have any tips! looks like a great operation. pretty psyched to get into this!!i hate seeing all that wasted wood around here.long island's got some nice trees.

i have an alaskan mill but no chainsaw for it now.need to research what to get..
we'll probably look into a portable band mill as well,like a woodmiezer,hoping to find something used .or may go it ourselves with some plans on building one for starters..
thanks again' seeya around
