A keepsake box for memories made out of some wood that he had cut down would make a real nice present for his family. <br />Ash should be really stable wood according to my knowledge, and a very clear light/white colour. I have never worked in Cherry.<br />Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-92192553208471616142013-04-26T13:02:00.718-07:002013-04-26T13:02:00.718-07:00Hi Brian.

The circular saw has been up and running for about 6 years.<br />The one I am restoring is a horizontal single blade reciprocating saw (a mule saw or mulesaw whichever is the correct spelling?)<br />I do have a band saw though, but not a saw mill :-)Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-8158339562403263592013-04-26T07:57:56.967-07:002013-04-26T07:57:56.967-07:00My mother and father in-law own a large piece of l...My mother and father in-law own a large piece of land in upstate Pennsylvania. There are thousands of trees and my wife's uncle, who unfortunately passed away, would sometimes cut them down and hire a portable saw mill to come in and saw the boards to be used in woodworking. There is a large amount of Cherry and Ash that is still setting in their barn. I always mean to take some home with me but I never do.confusedwoodworker@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388390480569098626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-53377798128100125822013-04-26T06:23:48.435-07:002013-04-26T06:23:48.435-07:00For some reason I thought you had a band saw mill....For some reason I thought you had a band saw mill.

Most of the boards I have milled have been used for the stable and for other construction purposes. But I made our kitchen out of home sawn elm.<br /><br />I have heard that the band saw mills are more sensitive to dirt on the logs than the older type circular saws. But then they don't waste as much wood since the kerf is very narrow. My sawmill leaves a kerf which is a little wider than 1/4". So I am glad that I can use the sawdust so it doesn't seem wasted.Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-48659372798029146902013-04-26T04:35:55.560-07:002013-04-26T04:35:55.560-07:00It must be nice to be able to quarter saw your own...It must be nice to be able to quarter saw your own stock if you need to. Do you ever mill wood for others? Or possibly sell it? Portable sawmills are a fairly nice little business in upstate Pennsylvania because most of the larger mills won't take the time to saw one or two logs for private use.<br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-67011943948017688342013-04-25T23:58:20.687-07:002013-04-25T23:58:20.687-07:00Very interesting explanation.
