Portable sawmill owners question
Hello - I seem to recall that folks with portable saw mills will mill in
exchange for wood. Is this common? What is the max capacity of a typical portable mill? Can a portable mill handle a 175 year old Oak aprox 3 foot diameter and a straight 15 foot length? I have a few oaks about that size on the ground plus a couple of others of unknown species about the same age. All are on the ground and limbed. One of the largest, 41" at base. has about an 8" hollow core at the 16' cut, not at the base. If folks do do it in exchange for the wood what is typical? 50/50? 80/20? 20/80? 99/1? If a blade hits a piece of metal or is damaged then what? Anyone in south central PA interested in milling this? |
