I want to build a woodworking workbench but can't find decent lumber for the 2' x 7' x 3-6" top, so I plan to cut slab(s) from a dead tree (I think I have a dead white oak or loblolly pine that will work), then joint and glue them up if need be.
Don't have an Alaskan mill, but plan to nail a board to the tree as a guide to get a planar surface, then turn it and repeat to square it up and get it down to manageable size to bring home and work on...
Can anyone recommend a good ripping chain to use for this on my 660 with 28" bar?
The bar uses .050" chain 3/8" and IIRC 91 DL.
If I'm lucky, I think there's a WO that's been down 10+ yrs., so assume it'll be dry and hard stuff.
I googled around for a while, but kind of got lost. Thanks for any help.
