Saw marks from a bandmill.

I milled some Pecan the other day and notice some of the boards had saw marks.  I checked the blade and found one tooth had a piece of metal bent over it.  I took my knife and pried if off.  I'm guessing it was in the log and got caught in the tooth.  It looked pretty neat. 

  I hope you took time to find where you had hit the that peice of metal and put the boards aside before your planer finds it and then it costs a set of knives....

Buy some of the course open sandpaper that they use on the first pass, to refinish a hardwood floor. Take a heavy duty 7" bench grinder and cut a thin metal disc to back up the biggest circle you can cut out of the paper. Think mine was 10". Secure the board on top of a couple saw horses and make one pass with the grinder and you will have your rough swan look.

I like your method John.

I made some marks yesterday.  I saw sparks fly when the Debarker hit and "almost" dislodged the rock embedded in the bark.  The customer said that the marks were OK and I kept on sawing.
