The ice storm that hit New England the end of '08 knocked down a large 25 year old Lilac tree (three trunked) in my yard. The tree had sentimental value since I planted it when my youngest daughter was but 6 months old. But, as a penturner, the sentiment quickly faded when I started the chainsaw...
I don't have much experience cutting blanks and need some advice. The trunks of the tree are 18 inches in diameter and I have a Jet 14 inch bandsaw with the factor installed blade. I've cut some blanks but can't seem to get the squareness of a purchased blank or ones that other members produce. The blade seems to wander a bit when cutting through the thick wood. Is there a recommended blade other than the factory installed for cutting blanks? Also, what is good technique?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
