I am going to mill a Madrone log into lumber on my Woodmizer LT15 sawmill. Pacific Madrone only grows on the west coast. It is known for being one of the best firewood there is. It can also make beautiful lumber. It is a broadleaf evergreen a dense hard hardwood. The wood is beautiful, but it is known for being difficult to dry. It has a big tendency to warp and crack.A lot of care must be taken to get it to drive straight. Some people steam or boil it to stabilize it. I don’t have the equipment for that so I am just going to sticker it and put a lot of weight on it. I cut down the tree with my Stihl MS 462 chainsaw. I use my Massey Ferguson MF 30 MF 34 tractor with Farmi winch to skid and carry the log to the mill.
