I’m working on a cabin project and we’ll be machining our own flooring. I harvested a pair of ash logs yesterday and I’m wondering how much flooring I’ll be able to get out of them.
log specifications
#1 11’ long, 12-18” diameter (lots of taper to this one)
#2 15’-6” long, 21-22” diameter
Sawmill blade kerf is 1/4”
RS board size is 5/4x6
installed area: 420 sqft
Is 20% adequate for waste?
