That will come handy. I have a peach tree that got severely damage by borers and it’s dying.
I am going to take it down and replace it with a new one.

D you resaw the log green ?

Yes Abbas, the log shown in the photos is green. It’s a good idea to put a thin platter on your saw table if you can before you start cutting otherwise you will have clean up the table afterward.

One of the nice things about this jig is that it is easy to store since it is flat, or alternatively not store it at all and just use another board next time. It is a good idea to have the edge against the fence jointed so it runs true through the cut.

I’ve been researching different ways to mill cedar logs. A friend of mine had a perfectly healthy southern red cedar cut down and I had the tree cutters leave the main of the tree whole. I cut it into 12’ sections. Imo cut and dry and I’ll post you some pictures .

Simple and totally functional ,good design.

Thanks Jim. It is a half stolen, half mine idea. I guess I could call it evolutionary, lol.
