Last week I used my alaskan for the first time. We cut some butternut into slabs, 8' long. We did some 16/4 and some 8/4 slabs. Used my 066 with a standard chain. The bar that I had my ripping chain for, was at a friends getting drilled for an auxillary oiler, so I figured i'd just use the regular chain that fit my extra bar. I made a slabbing starter bracket from some uni-strut. The process went pretty easily and quickly. Next weekend, I hope to cut up some more of the butternut and some cherry as well. Here are some pics, sorry none show off the cut lumber very well. The grain is absolutely beautiful, maybe next week i'll post some more pics.
