Pulled the trigger yesterday on a Woodland Mills HS130 max with the bed extension. Very excited to make boards galore…..no clue what I am doing with them though!
X2! Cookies yes, boards nope! I guess i can say im waiting for them to dry but im good at making excuses. Cant wait to see some pics Woodsnwoods. Now youll see lumber instead of firewood.
I could see driving myself nuts if I had a mill...lumber, or firewood, lumber, or firewood, lumber, or firewood?!
My tune has changed , to me now it is lumber first. Then if it is bad lumber it becomes awesome firewood.
Don't worry about what to do with them. You've just been freed from stupid crazy Lumber costs and now the skys the limit. Pretty quick you'll want a building for it.
Sawmill guys can't stand firewood guys...... they are always chopping up the best saw logs they can find to make $25 worth of firewood, instead of $200 worth of lumber. I know...... them's fightin' words...... but I'm sticking to it.
One thing I learned real quick (about sawing logs) was how rare a truly straight log is, especially if you're looking to saw anything over 8' long! Then there's the taper. I know I have a lot to learn about opening up a log but it's amazing how the slab pile grows in relation to your lumber pile sometimes... so seeing someone cutting up a straight log into 16” pieces for firewood can be frustrating.
