Milling small logs to lumber, in numerous different ways, including making use of the Carter Accuright Log Mill (bandsaw sled) on both a 10" and 18" bandsaw. These are tree trimmings from my Dad's property, and include honey locust and pecan logs.

Liked your hack for long logs using thin straight edge to keep screweed on straight edge useable.

That's a great little mill. I picked up one a couple years ago and had a similar experience with critters on a couple boards. I have a few logs from a tree we had to take down earlier this month in our front yard that I'll be running through it in the next week or two.

Yes, it works great! Good luck with the logs from your pin oak tree!

Was wondering if you had made the video about heating up the wood to kill the bugs. I'm at a loss as how I would go about doing it.

Great example of using a smaller 10” bandsaw. What size blade did you use?

@jkmwoodworking 11 ай бұрын

Thanks! I used a 1/2" blade, 4 TPI. I'll add a link to the blade I used in the description.

You seal the ends to prevent cracking. Will the wood still dry, though? Can a wood dry without forming cracks? Wood drying is effectively loss of material, and that's why the cracks form. You still want the material to go away, what will happen to the negative space?

@jkmwoodworking 11 ай бұрын

The idea is to have the wood dry at a consistent and uniform pace. If the end grain is left unsealed, then the ends will dry out at a much faster pace, which causes the cracking/checking. With the ends sealed, then the entire length of the board dries at a consistent pace. the wood will still dry.

@@jkmwoodworking where does the negative space go, though? the wood becomes slightly thinner?

@johnhubbard6262 6 ай бұрын

think about what you said - negative space, actually just the wood cells - doesn't go anywhere - it just shrinks or contracts. @@eitantal726

what kind of paint can u use for end sealer

@jkmwoodworking 4 ай бұрын

I just use leftover latex paint from painting some walls on my house, either interior or exterior. The guys who do this often say they just go buy the returns from home depot, whatever is available. Also note that some use a wax to seal the ends with instead of paint. I'm not sure if one is better than the other.
