Description: My friend Trent contacted me about picking up some Oregon white oak turning blanks. He had had a section of one of his oak trees come down in a wind storm. He was also going to have the rest of the tree taken down so we ended up chainsaw milling that section of the tree into quite a few oak slabs. This took us five Saturdays. I finally got a proper ripping chain for the chainsaw and this definitely helped. It gave a cleaner cut and it cut a little faster. Also, a ripping chain has fewer teeth so it is easier to sharpen. We used a Stihl 880 chainsaw with a 36" Alaskan chainsaw mill to cut the logs into slabs. I also wood turned a short section of the oak into an 18 inch diameter bowl.
