Ruined Log on The Woodmizer?
What happens here
After the initial flattening cut, the milling process continues to produce 2-inch thick live-edge ash slabs. The presenter demonstrates how the sawmill's de-barker runs ahead of the saw blade to remove bark and small debris, reducing wear on the blade. The resulting slabs, though from a beetle-infested tree, reveal beautiful grain and character, with small wormholes adding unique patterns. The potential uses for these slabs include live-edge furniture or fireplace hearths.
Goal: Produce finished ash lumber from the log.
