I have a 394xp and was leaning to quartering. I had never looked at a mini-mill . Just from the pictures I had seen I wouldnt have thought it would be strong enough for this. I have seen pictures of a set up that had an I-beam running the length of the log and the chainsaw bar was bolted to a slide that would go back and fourth on the I beam. ( I am assumeing thats kinda what the mini-mill does)
If it has anything close to the curl that was in the limbs I am already smiling.
Anybody got a guess on how old this tree is ??? I will count the rings and post them with some pictures when I am finished.
... If it were me doing it, I'd have a large excavator or tractor there to roll the log...
you have me drooling already. Ever seen the talarico hardwoods site?? They have pics of a GIANT bastogne (claro X black walnut hybrid, I think) walnut that is about the craziest piece of lumber I've ever seen.
Isn't Bastone a cross between Claro and English?
