Finally milled a Liquid Amber tree I cut down 1-1/2yrs. ago from my fathers place. I helped plant this tree in 1957 with my Dad and brother. So Friday I finally milled it with the 50" bar I just adapted to my mill. It gave me the opportunity to try milling with the 50" bar and to see how well my revised nose oiler would work. Everything worked great, and I was especially happy with the nose oiler and how well it lubricated the bar/chain.
Also had the opportunity to have my friend try out the mini-mill I built for him awhile back. Happy to report the dust deflector worked great.
Here are some pictures of what I milled.
Tulip Magnolia Tree
My friend plans to make handles for something with the small pieces.
Liquid Amber tree ready to be milled
My friends mini-mill I built for him making a side cap cut. He liked how well the chip-dust/deflector kept the stuff from flying in his face. I set his mill up to be pulling the chain through the wood. Here is that build http://www.arboristsite.com/milling-saw-mills/194497.htm
Liquid Amber tree, I was able to get four good 3-1/4" pieces from the tree. My neighbors like the pair on the right side for a table or something... work bench?
And my mill with the 50" bar and revised nose oiler I made for it. In this picture the bottle is not mounted yet for milling. Didn't take long to mill these pieces with my 134cc mill head. Here is the nose oiler mods I made to my mill. http://www.arboristsite.com/milling-saw-mills/196364.htm
