  • In this video we use our Woodland Mills HM130Max Portable Sawmill to flatten live edge slabs.
    It can be a challenge when starting a woodworking project using slabs. They tend to bend and bow during the drying process. Using a bandsaw mill makes quick work of flattening slabs before beginning the sanding process.
    Using a router sled is a messy process but can be used to flatten live edge if you've got the space. Alternatively, if you have access to a bandsaw mill, it is a fine tool for flatten slabs to a workable level.
    With the popularity of lived edge slabs and at-home work working enthusiast, I'm thrilled to share this method.
    Thanks for watching!

    What was the length of time in the climate control to dry? Again before/afters for moisture content? I just started doing my wood splitting as the barn was rebuilt and had some at 31% when I began but a few weeks “aging” in the barn has already got it down to below 20%.
    Would love to hear a long term update on the GMC

      @badgerlandturf I certainly didn't want to rush the drying process to limit checking but keep the basement just under 40% in the summer, and less in the winter. These have only been down there 7-ish months, but not sure how quickly they got below 15%.
      I've only had the truck for 2 months... aging like a fine wine!
