What's the best home workshop tool for turning a limb
this size into a board?

Thanks,

I just finished reading a long sawstop thread so when I saw your
subject beginning with "cutting limbs" I was not thinking of the
wooden kind...

Anyway, for a 4 ft, 4-6" dia log, it is easy enough to make a jig
that can be used on a bandsaw. Should be easy enough to find an
example with a web search.

You're probably going to get some comments about the suitability
of using (I'm sorry but after the sawstop and tablesaw accident
threads I just can't bear to use the word limbs here) BRANCHES
to make boards, but you did say it was for the heck of it.
