WIDE WALNUT SLABS with a Chainsaw Mill - Click it Dawg!
I've got a HUGE problem, a wood addiction. It's always been a problem but now that I have a chainsaw mill, it's moved from 1by 6 boards to 4 foot wide, 3 inch thick slabs! With that said, while I may end up with more wood than any many could use in 10 lifetimes, there's nothing like opening up a log and seeing the grain and color. Your mind instantly goes into lala land thinking of all the things you can make and with "boards" this size, you've got a lot of options.
In this video, I'm using my 60 inch Granberg Alaskan mill powered by a Stihl 090 powerhead several decades older than me. The mill is modern, made mostly from extruded aluminum, steel and hardware. The mill attaches to a doubled ended 72 inch bar capable of running either a helper handle oppisite the saw OR a saw head on each end for double the power! Milling is hard work and much easier with a helper or two when getting into big wood. The saw head alone is about 30 pounds dry, the bar about the same, add the mill, bar oil and a tank of gas and you've got a heavy rig...but still managable for a motivated individual! There are other makers of mills but I can't speak on those, but for those that are curious, Granberg makes a solid product and for what you will produce with it, I feel it is priced fairly. The materials are stong, lite weight and a user friendly design. They offer basic mills as well as complete packages with every last thing you want minus a powerhead. Here is the link to the exact package I chose (available in other sizes). https://granberg.com/product/g778-60c2-alaskan-mark-iv-60-c2-series/
For a powerhead, you'll need some real power. My saw is 137cc with a lot of torque. Tune it right and I can't imagine a better saw for milling. If you want a modern equivelent, Stihl now makes the MS880, it's not speced the same, but it's the biggest saw they make. Google the two for comparison. Used 090's can be had for a pretty penny on Ebay.
I hope you all enjoy seeing the process of milling logs on location with a portable chainsaw mill. I'll be posting more on milling these walnut logs and others soon. Thanks.
