Sounds like fun. Would be cool to see big chunks of balsa like that.
My back can't handle an Alaskan sawmill any more. Picked up an old circular mill this summer, parts of an American#2 looks like, with some belsaw pieces and some fabricated stuff in between. Bunch of cleanup and getting things lubricated now - cleaned up the 6 cyl continental power plant last month but will probably just use it for a buzz saw to chop slabs, and re-power the mill with a JD diesel. Have to set it up so everything rolls and loads with minimal lifting.
