Finally cut my first boards yesterday! I cut one of my cypress logs. Really pretty figure. I cut 2X material, but I have to admit a couple are a bit scant, as I wasn't paying as much attention to my gauge as I should have been. I think I lowered it a time or two to 1 3/8" instead of 1 5/8". You live, you learn. I cut about 99 bf before it go too dark. The cypress logs are several years old, so the wood was fairly dry. With all that said, it rained this morning and they got sopping wet.
Next chore - sharpen the teeth on my blade!!
