NB Can you cut smaller logs on a band saw and with what blade? Should the log be air dry? EEE Thank you
Hello Eric,
Yes, absolutely. Here’s a video that shows the process: https://www.wwgoa.com/video/cutting-a-log-on-a-bandsaw-000236/
This works better when the log is green.
If you have any other concerns, please contact us at 1-855-253-0822, or chat with us on our site.
We greatly appreciate your business!
Sincerely,

What type of saw set up is that? I have only seen alaskan mill set ups that use a rail on the log for the first cut and the previous cut surface for the remaining cuts. A knowledgeable comparison of plain sawn and quarter saw would be fantastic!
Hi Mark. The sawmill is a Logosol Woodworkers Mill. http://www.logosol.com Here is a video that describes the differences between plainsawn and quartersawn. https://www.wwgoa.com/video/plain-sawn-vs-quarter-sawn-extended-version-000305/
Thanks
