Correct.. The long peels were from the chains that had high rakers.. Too high for this application...
I only get those sometimes in fir ,once in a while wet alder ,if it is dry 1/2-3/4 inch chips are common ,falling cedar ,i might get 3/4 to 1 inch max ,that fir was pretty wet ,cut in winter when get lots of rain
those are the ones simpson door company pays good money for to make veneer for the doors ,all the ones i cut have big rings on outer edge ,get tighter in center
That's one bonus to all our conifers. It smells awesome to cut wood!
