One Big Oak log

This section came from a tree that blew down in a storm

Getting the log up on the mill's bed turns out to be the easy part..

This is as high as the blade will go. 

This means there will be a bunch of chainsaw work pror to firing up the mill.

See what I mean?

OK, we are finally ready to start sawing with the mill

Oops.  Still have more chainsaw work.  The angle supports are hitting the corners.

Now we are cutting for real.  This grain on this log is very clear and straight.

Now, there are some nice slices

Here is the final result. I will split this with Jonathan, who recovered the log from his fathers property
