Hi.. I have a 70cm diameter Mango tree on my property I am cutting down, its a hugh tree. and the main log before branches sticking out is about 4.5 -5 m long.. I would say Bottom of tree is 70cm diameter and top of that 4.5m is about 55cm I need some qualified suggestions how to cut this up. I was thinking to cut 90 cm pieces so i can get both backs and sides, I need some good advice, never cut a Tree my self for guitar wood before. Is the best for this size to cut it Quarter sawn ? how to think when i cut the pieces if the 4.5m long trunk ? 90 cm all of them ? or do i cut a few of them for the back say 55cm and the others for sides ? or All say 90 cm ? So.. 1. Quartersawn ? 2, How to divide the pieces ? will use chainsaw for the main quarter cuts, is quarter best to do for this ? Its Mango ! , then take them to bandsaw for then cutting it up for guitar backs and sides. Lars. |
