    My Stihl 090 mounted in a Granberg Alaskan Mill gets the job done. Chainsaw milling requires some effort, but have a look at the results. These are high dollar slabs that can be used in making furniture that will definitely stand out. I'll be air drying this walnut for several years and then may finish off a piece or two at a time in a kiln when I'm ready to use it. I'll most likely make table tops out of the majority of the wood but will surely use it in other ways as well.
    Be sure to check out my other videos milling, making furniture and more.

    You earned every board foot of that walnut lumber young man. We grow some humongous maple in my part of the world and I've milled and hauled out my share from awkward places. The donkey labor is such you have to work in shirt sleeves in 50 degree weather so I know how much energy you're spending.
    Well done and good clean-up after. That leads to good word of mouth and future windfalls of fine lumber in the log.

      After watching umpteen videos of carefully crafted dovetail and mortise and tenon joints taking hours to complete compared to the same precision from power tools and a jig taking seconds it's difficult to avoid the notion "handmade" is an indulgence.
      No disputing the craftsman's skill but the final product is in no way better so why pay a premium for it?
      When you think about it these people need a good hiding for not investing in better kit to reduce the end user price - self absorbed twats.
