Hadn't done it for 15 years - the wlanut tree in my backyard had to come down - couldn't resist one more time.
I had planted the tree 38 years ago, but it dropped a big limb near the neighbour's kids - their mom was not pleased.

Now I know why I stopped doing it - hot, dusty, noisy, hard work.

First cut



First slab



I'm using my 25 year old Homelite XL 76 and I even remembered how to sharpen the chain.



I made the boards 2 inch so that , some day, I'll be able to get good, book matched 3/4 boards.

Great looking lumber.
What are you going to make with that special lumber.

I thought that I could make 2 nice , detailed keepsake boxes for the 2 kids - they are 9 and 11  - would please their mom.

But fr now, air drying for at least 2 years.

Welcome back!  Now you can look out for that odd, attractive log, and, dream of a new band saw.  Regards, Clark

Very nice, especially considering you managed to get it done with that old Homelite.  I would've used an old McCulloch  ;D
