With such thick slabs left over .. Could you have bumped up one inch before cutting to your can’t size, cut at one inch above, then bumped down an inch to cut at your can’t size? That may have given you 4 more boards that may have been smaller but still useful? Just thinking to myself until I get my first sawmill,
It is true you can get more lumber out of them and a lot of people do. I also need firewood for the winters up here, so I leave the slabs a little thick to give me better firewood. The alternative would be to cut down some trees exclusively for firewood and not get any lumber from them. Kind of a tradeoff. Thanks for watching!
Good job. You ended up with some fine looking lumber. The lift on the head makes it easier to get accurate boards.
Thanks for bringing us along

Nice video ! The bees on the camera are giving me a bit of anxiety :)
The bees seem to not bother me so long as I don't bother them. Thanks for watching!
