New to Chainsaw Milling

[catdog]

So sure this question has been asked before but any tips for this before I pour the pork on some trees I got around here? Got a few white mulberry trees I wanna make into plank boards. So any tips would be appreciated. I know I am gonna tear something up regardless but I always try to get some advice first lol

Let us know what sort of setup/mill you are using. Hard to give advice without that.

Have a place to stack, stick and cover the boards. Cut up or get some stickers.

If using an aluminum ladder make sure it’s straight by eye. If using a wood board make sure it’s straight by eye also especially after nailing or screwing it in place. I’ve only ever used boards myself. Seen a lot of tweaked ladders tho. Sometimes I get a hip lip at the end of the cut and u should take it down with a sharp axe, planner or you’re smaller saw. Lot of tricks
