Milling Huge Logs with My Biggest Chainsaw – A Long Day of Woodwork

I took on some of the biggest logs I’ve ever milled with my chainsaw—and it was a battle from start to finish! Watch as I reveal the stunning live edge slabs hidden inside these massive pieces of hardwood. Perfect for DIY wood projects or custom furniture ideas!

Today was a true test of patience, skill, and horsepower! I had to break out the biggest chainsaw I own to mill these massive logs, and even then, I had to trim off a few wide spots. From start to finish, it was a battle—but seeing the beautiful wood inside made it all worth it.
Some of the challenges I faced along the way:
💥 Too much oil in the oil/gas mix (sorry for the smoke! 😅)
💥 Repeated chain adjustments
💥 Clearing enough space to store these huge slabs
It was a LONG day, but the reward is in the wood. These slabs are full of potential, and I’d love to hear your ideas for projects! What should I make with them next?
