Looking at milling 10-20 logs 18" dbh 16' in length or less.
(On a woodmizer) 10 degree double hards blade a good choice?
Majority of the lumber will be used for a sailboat restoration project. Any words of advice on milling the black locust or what to expect?
Thanks

Make sure you have plenty of blades! We saw quite a bit of black locust, We save te logs back until we need some big timbers so we don't have to make to many cuts.
It sure is hard wood, the bark seems to dull blades fast too. We cut some for posts and the smaller trees had quite a bit of tension in em. On the bigger ones I cut 4/4 and boxed the heart for posts. It really is pretty wood and I'm going to try making flooring out of the 4/4 stuff.
