Chainsaw Lumbermaking by Will Mallof.
If you've ever had trouble finding the lumber you need, or wanted to build something with your own trees, Chainsaw Lumbermaking is the book you've been waiting for. Will Malloff tells you everything you need to know to turn a chainsaw into a lumbermill: how to modify the chainsaw and make numerous accessories for milling, how to use the equipment in the woods, and even how to cut burls, shape ovals and mill natural knees for boatbuilding.
This book is worth the price charged now for just his insight on chain design and sharpening alone. With the notes in this book one can save his saw, his equipment and get the job done much more quickly than if you do not have his notes and observations. With the publication of this book, Malloff has done a great service for anyone in need of an accessible, comprehensive single volume summary of the mechanical and technical means for converting trees and logs into beautiful, figured, seasoned, edged, strong and stable, furniture grade, dimensional lumber. Beginning with a fresh re-examination of the tools and techniques employed in felling, limbing, bucking, slabbing, edging, end-grain treating, stickering, drying and milling, the author presents all the tricks and techniques currently employed by forestry professionals in the pursuit of beautiful lumber. The Bible of micro-milling.
