I just have my local sawmill guy do all the length cuts with his gas powered horizontal band saw and it barely leaves a mark for me to sand with my angle grinder with a 50 grit disc. He cuts anything up to 14 ft. and i've sold over a dozen benches that were 8' long. You just have to take all bark off of pine because that is usually where most sap is left and it will gunk a saw blade. I hate to see too much work going into a project....time is money
Great vids my friend! We've got some a lot of lodge pole pine that has been taken out by the beetles. The are destroying our forests but they do leave some good looking colors in the wood.
@campfiremeals Thanks for the comments. Yes, it is sad to see. The Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic is wiping out ALL of the lodge pole pine here in Colorado. We have enough wood around here to make log furniture til the end of time...
so manly o.o
