I have never seen chinaberry. Mainly stuck with White Oak, Red Oak, Walnut, Soft Maple and hard Maple and lots of Red Cedar. My son and I cut down a standing dead Red Oak into 4' long logs. It was home to many bugs and wood borers. It was hard to cut but it did cut. I put a variable speed control on the sled so I can adjust how fast it goes through the blade. I enjoy and learn a lot from all you guys on RUclips. Thanks for taking the video and sharing it with us.
I've heard it mentioned here and there since I was a kid, but this is the first time I've seen any. My dad cut these trees because they were shading my mom's fig tree. I stopped by and happened to spot the trees on the ground and was surprised by the color and grain. According to info I found, it's a variety of mahogany. The lighting in my shop doesn't do justice to the finished wood color. It's much more beautiful than it looks in the video.
I resawed about 18 Red Oak logs a few months ago. I bought a carbide reinforced blade cost about 85.00 compared to the cheap 22.00 grizzly blades. I resharpened all these blades on the saw when the cut starts screaming. I was not sold on the carbide. It didn't last as long as I had hoped. I use a 1" wide by 3 tpi and mill 4' long logs on my sled. I really enoy this stuff and have a bunch of youtube videos doing this. 95% of all my projects are from 4' long logs I resaw- sticker and then put to use a year or two later. I have 3 pallets of stickered wood drying in the shed. Love this stuff. Thanks for the cool stuff your doing. I am right in there with you.
I've got some red oak logs in my yard right now that I need to get sawed and stickered before I lose them. I'm hoping my carbide blade will hold out long enough to get all my resawing done. I typically buy my lumber, but I couldn't let these logs lie on the ground and rot, since they were small enough for the equipment I have.
Not quite 4 times the price. $33 for the regular and $120 for the carbide. George over at Middlefield Custom Sawmill has been raving about carbide blades. I think he said he got 13 logs out of one blade before he broke it on a nail, as compared to 3 or 4 for a regular blade. If the carbide blade lasts 4 times as long, it's a better deal. I guess time will tell.

I came up with this Sled it cuts 4' long 17" round logs.

How's the price on the carbides compared to a regular blade? Wood-Mizer was telling me 3 to 4 times the regular blade price for my sawmill.

@@thehappychiselllc It's George's fault that I am considering carbide 🤣
