That's all oak. First of three loads. I work for a school district and get a few trees from there. They were taken down by the power company.

that's right you said cherry and that didn't look like cherry at all.

well learned more about milling this weekend and somehow messed up one of my milling chains. busted the top off one of the cutters and really screwed up two more.

also milled the largest log i have milled to date. 11ft long 22" diameter cherry log. i set up the mill the normal way with the ladder supported on 2x4s and i learned that the ladder will flex when you add a mill to it and it will flex even more on the side with the power head. made it three cuts before i figured it out. i will do better when i finish the second half of the log and use the other chain that is not messed up.
