Here is a doug fir log ,notice how the heart of the tree is off center ,when they grow like this the lumber ends up being less stable ,and more likely to bend while drying after cut

Here is another doug fir slab being cut into 2x6

Finish i get with chisel chain ground at 10 degrees

Here is another shot of a 16 foot doug fir beam ,Contractor that was helping me was shocked that i fell a tree after work ,and had a couple beams ready for the am when he showed up .you can see how far i can get with a 16 foot ladder ,had little less than 3 feet to go ,so slid it back and finished the pass ,can see the 2 by slabs i cut first in the background to get to the beaam i wanted .

These images were when i was running a .050 guage bar ,and i do not run the aux oiler anymore with the .404 chain and .063 groove ,the .404 carries much more oil so do not need it

It appears you have to drill your bar for the auxillary oiler, is this correct?

Yes ,i drill the tip of the bar below the sprocket area ,you lose 3-4 inches of bar cutting ability with the aux oiler kit .
This image shows were to drill the bar tip
