Quartersawing a Big Post Oak . . . and Metal Bolts on Wood-Mizer LT40 Wide

There are some days where things just don't go according to plan. This log took forever to get on the mill and mill up. Some of the problems were self imposed . . . like not sharpening your chainsaws in the morning. Others were just part of sawing up family trees. But, even a rough day at the sawmill is still a good day overall.

In this video, I take a little extra time to explain what I am doing and why I do the things I do. The final product came out great! It just took a little time to get there.

This video was actually recorded months ago, but we have been blessed to have our plates full. Until now, we have not been able to sit down, edit and publish this video until now.

We milled the log with our Wood-Mizer LT40Wide portable sawmill and used a Kubota MX5400 tractor to logs and lumber around.
