Most Sawmill Owners Cut Posts The Wrong Way

Today I got a last minute order for four 6x6 posts — and had just ONE HOUR to get them cut before the customer showed up. In this video I break down: • Why posts can actually be MORE profitable than lumber • How posts can sell cheaper per board foot but still make more money • Why they’re faster to cut with less fuel, less handling, and less wear on the sawmill • The mistake I see people make when cutting 6x6 posts • Why I prefer smaller logs and straight box heart / inter-pith cuts to prevent warping Sometimes the simplest cuts are the most profitable. Also — I talk about what’s coming next with the sawmill. The backstops are getting rebuilt stronger than ever. If you’re into sawmilling, making money with a mill, or learning how to cut smarter — this one’s for you. 👉 Subscribe for more sawmill content 👉 Support us on Patreon 👉 Follow us on Facebook, Instagram & TikTok —————————————————————— #norwoodsawmills @CooksSawmills Blades we use: https://cookssaw.com/bandsaw-blades/b...
