O my, wonder how much it'll weigh??  I'll see what I have.  O I know, I have a billet length piece I brought in the shot to rip on my band saw and it wouldn't do it.  Might be too small for your mill though.  I'll check it out tomorrow.

So... Ken,

I can only assume that since you're not posting the usual 5-10 bows per month lately, you must be spending your time accumulating a massive stock pile of bow wood!  Got any pictures of your stash? 

I'd sure be interested in acquiring some hickory...

My buddy has a 40 hp Woodmizer. It has paid for itself twice over. I bet yours will do the same Ken. Cool new toy for sure.

The guilt would keep me awake at night Ken, thief......less tha a grand for any size, any shape portable sawmill is dirt cheap! One of those hickory logs turned into 1/4 sawn backers will pay for it twice and half man.

Wow, that's a nice litle toy, Ken. I have a big ol' cedar log I'd be tempted to head north with. :laugh:

Sign me up for some Mulberry!  I could use a bit of that.  It sounds like your new toy might get you a bunch of trade ideas!
