    I just scored these three sycamore logs. Now I just have to get them home. And figure out how to quarter them. The one on top is the size of my Golf, and three tines as heavy. :/:

    I was able to get a "small" milling job done today. I'll link my Instagram post below. Quite a process to salvage this chunk of ash.

    Fresh, small knot spruce is nice stuff. Dry, old, big knots is not really worth sawing.

    Spruce sucks on a bandmill. Even under the best circumstances it's hard to saw.

    According to Wood-Mizer, it's just for pitch issues, not cooling. I was told that windshield washer has enough of a solvent effect for most situations.

    I've run nothing for years. I do have some gumming, but not bad. If I sawed a lot of syp, I'd definitely need to run something. I have the check valves to fix my lube system, and I'll run windshield washer fluid. Some swear by diesel, but I don't need it, and won't use it.

    Used Wood-Mizers are bringing as much, or more, than new. I've heard up to 70 months wait. It's crazy.

    Butternut is an interesting wood. I sawed a butternut log 8' long that was 36"x56" on one end, and 36" on the small end. Not too many of them around. That one looks to be a big one, as well.

    I bet a lot of it is cool. Trying to do business there seems to be hell.

    There was a square jig, I think was called the ATOP, or something like that.

    I remember that, also. I've ripped big logs with square ground, it rips very well. You just have the sharpening issue.
