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.
