Slabbing The Red Oak Log

- Sawing
My friend Jim wanted to try moving a massive log that we had cut a few years ago and he figured slabbing it would be a good project for me. So we hauled this 6,000lb log from the forest to my backyard and over the course of a few weeks, I took slice after slice off of it. I am using a Panther Mill II with my Stihl 046. My 42″ bar when mounted in the mill gives me around 35″ of cut width if I remove the dogs from my saw.

Hey Matt, Do you use any special blades on your saws to do the slabbing of those trees? Or just use a regular chainsaw blade? Thanks.
I use a ripping chain. It’s just like a regular chain except the teeth are ground at 10 degrees.
Matt, Amazing work with the woodworking and videos on your process. Congrats on the recent addition to your family. Sarah and I have four kids, never a dull moment. Greetings from Nashville. Keep up the fantastic work. -Travis
Thank you Travis! We’re shooting for 4. We’ll see how that goes… haha!
