Large Elm - Chainsaw Milling with the Alaskan Mill
4,895
Published 2020-02-23
The famous Granberg Alaskan Mill doing what it’s best at, turning an oversized log into amazing live edge slabs. The slabs that came out of this one had very beautiful grain and color, and were some of the best elm slabs I ever seen. This log came from Uppsala, Sweden.

That accompaniment song is the saddest song I’ve ever heard. It’s like saying goodbye to someone who’s fallen out of love with you-when you still love her dearly, and you will never see her again! It’s a tragedy, and unrequited love tragedy song, with a bad ending. It has nothing to do with the joy you feel, when a slab is cut off, and beautiful grain and colors greet you!

Elm makes very pretty lumber. However it rots very quickly. Not much count for firewood when its green. And burns like paper when its dry. We have Walnut here in the Ozarks. Osage Orange (Bodock) too. however very few large trees. I have some large red cedars on my property. Cedar grown on limestone glade rock is almost all red heart wood and defect free.

Man I looked first and thought you had 327k subscribers! And you should! You've convinced me to start saving for an Alaskan mill set up. Keep up the good work!

One question would after you stack the slabs with spacers would it to help to band it tight ( metal bands ) I enjoy and learn a lot thank you. Waiting for new videos 😊

I think your time estimate is spot on . I can't do it any faster . It is a very labour intensive job , but also very rewarding . Did you build the brackets you attached to the log to set the ladder on ? They look like they worked well . In Canada they either burn or bury trees with Dutch elm disease . Another great video . Thanks

I'm really enjoying these videos, thanks for making them. Do you have any resources on how you made your kiln?

The grain of elm is really beautiful. I am amazed how big your elm logs/slabs are. We are in Canada and big elms have been decimated by this disease. Rock elms were particularly hard hit. Are your elms resistant to Dutch Elm disease?
