I have been chainsaw milling more wood with my friend. We started with two Douglas fir logs. These were straight forward and we did not have any issues. We then cut down a partially dead red alder tree and found that the bottom 16' or so was in good shape. We cut that into two 8' sections and milled that wood into slabs. With the alder, we used the longer chainsaw bar which was longer than we needed but it meant that the chain stayed sharp for the entire operation. I now have a 4' tall stack of Douglas fir and red alder that I need to find some projects for in the next couple of years while the wood dries.
