Hello all,
I'm in an area with easy access to certain hardwoods (yellow birch, maple) from firewood suppliers. Is it feasible to convert a 4-8' log to lumber by hand without building a sawpit and working at it for eons? I'm wondering if I could get a log, ask them to split it, and then use an axe and wedge to split off boards. Anyone with experience? I realize it's a very inefficient way of going at it compared to using something like a Woodmizer, but I don't have the space (or money) for one.
Cheers!
