Name: Russell Wilkins
Location: Runnells, Iowa, USA
Mill: 2002 8" 24hp Honda WPF Lo/Lo
Add Ons: Taper board attachment, skid loader, farm tractor, homemade log arch.
Operation: 99% is custom milling, using the customers logs. Almost always the wood is oak or walnut used for timber frame houses or furniture. I have milled some silver maple to use for trailer floors too, as well as hickory, pine, fir, locust, sycamore, cottonwood, and hackberry.
Best feature: Not having to stack boards to edge them, and getting that smooth cut first time is top of the list. And being able to re-tip my own blades is a close second.
Tip: Keep a close watch on your blade cutting pattern.
