I've seen pressure treated landscaping timbers like that. I didn't know if they didn't dry them after the pressure treatment or how that works, but they were soaking wet, and after a couple days in the sun assembled as a flower bed border they all lifted and warped like crazy.Here, all the lumbers for carpentry and roofing (from 1"x1" to 6"x6" and 9"x3") at the hardware store are completely green, full of water. They come from the mill directly after being cut. Just a little dip in a yellow soup, as a matter to say that they have been "treated" (mandatory). Actually the treatment doesn't even prevent the fungi to grow like crazy. If they stay in summer, you can tell that they begin to dry because they warp !
There are some wood kiln dried, but they are inside, at the supply for furnitures and are crazy expensive. I have never seen an end sealant.
Does the 880 oil well? I was not impressed with how one I used once oiled a 30" bar when set on max. I expected oil flying everywhere, but it looked a little dry after a cut. I haven't run one long enough to know how full the oil tank is after the gas runs out. With the side tensioner and adjustable carb I want to get one for milling.Did a nice job on this beech - spalting was just getting going, so I have left some more of it stacked for View attachment 111597View attachment 111598next summer.
They oil well enough. I think if you are running a big bar & milling a lot then you should look at an auxiliar/suplimentary oiler. No saw likes to lubricate a 60” bar on a long cut through hardwoodsDoes the 880 oil well? I was not impressed with how one I used once oiled a 30" bar when set on max.

Review of Hoadley’s Wood ID bookWell, don't take my word for it. I got that from Hoadley.

A popup canopy would be nice.Hot days milling. I found some beach umbrellas in my attic. I've been finding my 088s start much easier even in this heat now that I have been using red amour oil.
