P9120138b.jpgI'm ready to try it. 191 viewsThat's me in my BAM outfit. Notice that someone else has already done most of the cut for this slab. One cuts a bit on one side then switches to the other, maintaining 45 degree cuts that meet in the middle. Kind of like resawing. SomedayForge

P9120143b.jpgAnother closeup146 viewsBIG teeth. And notice that they vary in size. The eldest of the sawyers was sharpening these saws on site. I didn't think to watch him more closely while doing that. SomedayForge

P9120145b.jpgSomeone else willing to try137 viewsHe's got a bigger grin. Notice the pile of sawdust on the left. Most likely from the cutting from that side done earlier. Also notice the quality of cut on the top from the prior slab removal. Amazing for an initial slab cut. Better than the whirling steam powered circular saw being demoed by the steam show folks.
