If you're serious about that, I will do my level best to find something to mill...
Stephen was gonna look for something just "stupid big", to do that with...
I'd think 6' long would work, but loading and placing it is a challenge of its own..

It would be cool. I'm sure everyone that hasn't ever really done it, or seen it done by others, would enjoy checking it out. I also have a couple of quick set jigs that I use for my guide board placement that make it super easy and quick to set up. These are great to make the first cut follow the pith of the log and have good straight grained slabs. I could easily use a couple of those slabs too, to throw together a quick carved bench or something.

Plus if you want to see something cool, go find some old hardwood blow downs that have been in contact with the ground for a bout a year or so. Especially the lighter colored hardwoods. They are spectacular to behold. They will sometimes have colors and patterns that are unbelievable! Sorry I've been feeling that milling fever setting in again............

I really like to see somebody using a wedge to buck up their big logs. So few will try it, and it saves so much labor.

Specter most of the homelite gurus hang out in the Homelite Stickie thread. If you have homelite questions that is the place to go.
