Sorry jp, those ole Woodmizers don't cut well at all, in fact I'll give you an extra $100 bucks over what you paid for the one you've got. I could use a few parts just to keep my ole klunker going. ;D

I started sawing for the first time about this time last year and I've left a lot of the butt logs til last. But for the last few weeks, we've been sawing 29"+ dia logs. Other than turning them...the sawing is easy.

Woodbowl, JP's saw is mine. He just hasn't gotten it finished before bringing it down off the mountain.
