Performing the Third Cut

What happens here

With the log properly rotated and securely clamped, Nolan operates the Wood-Mizer LT40 Wide sawmill to perform the third cut. This pass further shapes the log, revealing another beautiful face of the black walnut and bringing it closer to the desired dimensions for the remaining slabs. The precision of the hydraulic sawmill ensures a consistent cut, preparing the wood for its eventual use as a countertop.

Goal: Make another cut to further square the log and produce additional slabs.
