Hi all,I got a Timbery M100 about 4 years ago. My now retired friend would rather be in a tree than just about anything else, so one day he was talking about the chain saw mill he has (threaded rod and piece of steel) and wanted to cut an oak he just cut down. I had him run us out to the WM dealer to look around. We left with the M100 on order (I wanted the LT15 wide but was talked out of it... whole other story). Having this saw is completely just a hobby. He ends up with logs, now I have a way to cut them up!! I do have to say there is something about cutting a log into boards that is ... I don't know, relaxing, zen like, it just makes me smile !!I have not cut a lot, the saw can set for months between use, but we have cut redwood, ceder, oak, pine, fir, cherry, apricot, liquid amber (i think), and ..... there are walnut orchards north of me, so I'm hunting some walnut to cut!!As soon as I figure out the photos, I will add some.I intend on adding to this thread with updates. maybe "what we cut lately" type of thing.
They are cutting down all the old Black Walnut trees that line that road and hauling them to the dump, a real waste of good lumber in my opinion.
Welcome! I'd gladly take some of that pine off your friend's hands! But can't get into my property for another 6 months
One problem with the M100, it has less than 7" from the blade to the frame, so I can only make one timber from a log by cutting all 4 sides!
By the way, anybody need their table top slab sanded??
If you are looking for black walnut you might check out all the new construction going on along PFE Road between Antelope and Roseville. They are cutting down all the old Black Walnut trees that line that road and hauling them to the dump, a real waste of good lumber in my opinion.
