Well I've had the mill for a little over a week and really enjoy it thanks to pa woodmizer only sawed 4 logs but got lots to saw went and looked at a blown over cherry last night  I can get 8 logs 8 foot out of trunk and limbs trunk is 38inch at base a little big for the lt15  :D

Congrats on the new sawmill.  You will find that "limb" logs will contain stress caused by their supporting an unbalanced load while in tree form.  That stress (energy) will be released as they are sawn and could cause some crooked or bowed lumber, etc.  You will see the same thing with trees that grew with woods on one side and an opening on the opposite side.  Same with leaners and hillside trees.

That being said, no reason why you couldn't take the limbs and make turning blanks from them.  Making lemonade, so to speak...
