How Long Does It Take To Mill A Log?

Time is one of our most precious possessions. Someone once said, "whatever you take time for is what you consider important." @SawdustandSweatNC , milling logs into lumber may not be on our top ten list of most important things to do in life, however, it is somewhat important and it certainly is fun. Now getting back to "Time." Have you ever wondered just how much time is involved in operating a Bandsaw Sawmill. Just how long does it take, from start to finish, to mill a log. In this episode we answer this question. Now there are many variables which are involved in the milling of a log and the time required to mill that log. But just for a general idea of how long it takes, this day was pretty revealing in answering, at least for me, just how much time is involved in turning logs into lumber. Check it out.

A question for you: how small can a log be and still be milled with a unit like yours? I had to take down an American Persimmon tree that has a lot of sentimental value, so I'd like it milled into slabs I can make some kind of furniture with it. But it's not the biggest tree I've ever seen, either.

Appreciate it! I was one of your first 50 subscribers, so I am always glad to see your videos and your channel grow.
