I usually mill in the evenings,after work. It helps me wind down and i enjoy myself. Sometimes it isn't all about money, or how fast you can do it.

carvinmark said:I mill pine and white cedar mostly. I do use it in my log home biz and for my home. I use pine planks to make table tops and log chair seats,oh ya, shelves and mantles. I have a 38' office trailer that I try to keep full of 2",3",4" planks 8'-12' long with natural edges. Heck I got wood stashed all over and I do use it real often. My business requires some heavy equiptment, so when I need to load logs I just get in my loader and put em up.Glad you can see it from my point. Mark

Casey...How many do you need? 18-20" are not very common,If you can use 12-14" I can get those a lot easier.Call me between 6:00-8:00 evenings or leave a message and we'll see what we can do.Sea ya. MarkCaseyForrest said:I too try to do some after work, very relaxing for me!
Mark....I am looking for a few cedar logs, I need to mill up some 10" siding. I was wondering if you have any 18" to 20" logs, 8' long youd be willing to part with?
I contract for Beaver Log homes,railings and misc.My company name is Normark and we are a log home accessorie company.We Make everything and install including hand scribed staircases,rafters,mantels.....everything short of actual construction (I have experience).Not too many companies do what we do.I chainsaw carve, and placed second at one event last year,my carvings are often sold to my log home customers...No web,just word of mouth. the 395 works very well, but as usual,we all want more power,well,at least I do.coveredinsap said:Yes, as odd as it seems the chainsaw mills are relaxing....and a good way to unwind...as is most exercise
How does that 395 work?....I imagine that that is fun one to hold onto freehand milling
What kind of log homes do you do....is there a website or other info?
Again, thanks for the link on the Procut....it's a cool setup.

seems debate about csm VS bandsaw mill is a moot one. If you've got the bucks and are going into business milling. you got no business using anything less than the most productive setup. based upon feedback from lots of experienced folks, bandmill is the way to go.
but if you are not shooting for big volume, carvinmark's mill may be the best option. Especially if you've already got an 064/066 paid for.
CaseyForrest said:I need enough for 196 square feet. I guess I dont need 10" siding, I can go with 8" giving me a 6" exposure.
I plan on milling it 1/2" tapering to 1/4" for the siding. let me know. And let me know what youd charge.
carvinmark said:Casey,I checked with my supplier,and I can get you 12-13"(small end) x 8'cedar saw logs for 47.00 each.only has 10 left.... Mark
