Thank you, David. I appreciate the compliment. I've been upgrading them over the last 6+ years, slowly but surely.

That looks a lot more like persimmon or hickory. Osage is vibrant yellow and the heartwood goes nearly to the bark. Regardless, that wood is beautiful.

Matthew, you're probably right about hickory on that. The guy that provided it told me it was all osage orange, but there were a couple oddballs in the bunch. I picked this one to start off with since it was a bit of a mess as a test piece. You can see by that 3rd and 4th piece I was worried about what might come crawling out of it :-)

I'll throw in a sub to help out another small channel. This is one thing that I am looking to do as well. I have some old cypress logs and I have been wanting to attempt to 'Sawmill' them on my bandsaw just to see if they can be salvaged in any way for a small box. My biggest issue has been blade travel. I 'think' my blade is simply too loose. As I cut the blade flexes and curves into the piece. I have been so worried about over tightening and burning out the bearings that I keep it too loose I think. I would love to hear if you experienced anything similar when you first started milling logs and what your experiences were.

I haven't worried about damaging the bearings and tighten the blade based on Alex Snodgrass's discussion. Your bearings aren't indestructible, but they should have no trouble supporting a blade set to its proper tension. Also, I doubt the bearings (or blade) are prohibitively expensive to replace if that should be necessary. Alex is pretty much the current-day bandsaw guru, with several bandsaw products and patents to his name. He currently works for Carter products, who are the same folks that make this mill. I took a bandsaw box class with him last year and he went over proper bandsaw tuning with our group as part of the class. This is an older version of what he taught us, but there is veery little difference over the years. Watch this video (and again before you change your blade the next few times) and see if your bandsaw is set up as he suggests. If it isn't give his approach a shot. I doubt it will do any harm and very likely will do a lot of good. Please follow-up if you're still having trouble. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eayKgs9_2KfLcok.html

@@WindRidgeWoodCrafts Thanks. I actually watched that one previously. I need to try it again. The main issue I ran into with this video guide was that my fairly wide resaw blade scrapes the 'safety cage' that is installed around the blade on my Rikon. So I wasn't able to center the gullet on the wheels. I think that is another reason my blade travels so bad. I have been debating on removing the yellow safety cage. Previous models didn't have it anyway. Thanks for the reply.

@@TheProjectHelpDesk Got it. I know Rikon makes nice machines. It was a tough choice between this Grizzly, the Rikon 10-326 and one of the Lagunas.
