Slabbing wide walnut log

Brian has done the last three milling jobs for me on his Woodmizer in the background. Take a look at the slabbing machine that he built

Interesting, thanks for posting. I'm surprised he didn't use his bandsaw mill to do it. I wonder why not? (Planning to build a bandsaw mill of my own.)

Bandmills aren't wide enough...he has an eight FOOT bar on the swing!

Oops...yeah, that makes sense. Duh!

Not much sapwood on that log. Do big walnuts typically have that little sapwood? I bet he'll get some chatoyant fiddleback in that crotch that would make some beautiful gun stocks. $$$$$
