Dreaming of beautiful women when using sharp tools is a no no.
Lol, I have a scar on the knuckle of the same finger to remind me.

Thanks Roy. My dad is somewhat of a hoarder. His basement is full of old stuff from a lifetime. I often go "shopping " in his piles of stuff and tools. He has a lot of old farm and tack stuff from our family generations. Wife and decorated our cabin with family items such as my great great grandfather's shingle fro,crosscut saw, sythe, etc.

This hatchet head was from his stuff. He has no idea. I have another one for him in the works as well.

I went over to my friends place and we limbed and bucked up a couple of ash trees that he cut down a while ago. Then we dragged them over to the sawmill and cut one log into slabs.

Nice piece of wood. 😁
There are three more logs to cut up and two of them have been laying on the ground for a while so they have some spalting in them. I can’t wait to cut into them.
The wind was howling. We heard a tree break back in the woods behind us.

  The alaska mill is only so good...  If you are gonna be ripping a lot of wood and you want a little bit cleaner face I would think of an alternative way...

Ditto what Shredd said. Chainsaws, even with a fresh ripping chain are really slow and thats in softwood..... unless you have a REALLY BIG chainsaw. Stihl 500 might have the power?
I had an Alaska mill, used it a couple times and sold it.

I need to convert a bunch of ash trees to lumber as well.  Damn beetles have killed nearly all my ash trees.  Some were humongous.

I did get 2 more knifes done. Working on holsters now.

  Or take it to a mill...  Or do what I do... Use the alaskan mill to cut the log in half then run the rest through the bandsaw...
