Topic tags/keywords: tip trick

I have a 14” Delta bandsaw rigged with a 1/2” Wolf, 3 tpi blade and a riser block. I am wanting to resaw a few
8” diameter x 30” long Hackberry logs salvaged from a recent storm.
Is this difficult to do on a home bandsaw? I have downloaded a few jig plans for holding the log.
Anyone have any experience or tips for doing this on a 14” bandsaw?
Thanks.

Good links Scott!

I’ve cut logs on mine. I just freehanded a cut and jointed it to get a flat surface and then used that surface
against the table. Then used the fence from that point on.

Scott, thanks for the links. I like the jigs used (similar to one I saw on FineWoodworking) and I’m going to try it once, more for the satisfaction of having done it but not at the expense of damaing my saw. would be cool to be able to get a few boards from a nice log though.
Thanks Gary, I’m going to give it a shot.
