I wish I had your sawmill. I have a new Woodland Mills HM 130Max on extended trailer, does a great job, but it's all manual no hydraulics, it's tough on a old man
Thank you, as we get older we need more features to help us. May want to check out "Kevin the Miller", he has posted a video where he added motor functions to his Woidland mill.
I hate to be negative, especially since you did a decent job of cutting up that log, but I have seen way too many videos of "quarter sawn" logs that have not been quarter sawn. That was flat sawing that you happen to have gotten a few quarter sawn boards out of. Also, why wouldn't you mill both cants at the same time?
I realize that and was really just referring to the several boards out of the stack that are in the quarter sawn area with the nice ray fleck. I have a video where I actually use a quarter sawing technique but this log was a little small for that. I did not mill both cants at the same time because I fully expected alot of internal stress in the wood because this was a leaning tree. Cut the boards edge way to the lean to minimize issues but if the boards do move it can through out the cut on the adjoining cant.

Will do thanks
I wish you would of shown us the wood at least once before cutting it in half...
Thanks for the suggestion, I will try to include it in the future.
