Chainsaw Milling Season 2020 – First Slabs of the Year with the Alaskan Mill
Chainsaw Milling Season 2020 – First Slabs of the Year with the Alaskan Mill : The process of making your own lumber is exciting. Cutting into a log for the first time to reveal the beauty inside. To see the grain and the colors inside. The anticipation of what you will make with the wood someday in the future when it’s dried and ready to work with… it’s a lot of work to get the lumber ready after it is cut. But let’s back it up a little too before we even get to cutting that first slab. The is a lot of prep work to get done. And since I’m not a full time sawyer and primarily cut in the winter, that adds a few steps. My chainsaw milling setup for the first slab included the 36” Granbeg International Alaskan Mill, a 36” Cannon Superbar from Cannon Bar Works and the MS661 Chainsaw by Stihl. Watch the embedded video and you’ll follow through the first slab of my 2020 milling season! Thanks for checking it out! Enjoy!! ~ Glenn
