: John,

: I have no opinion on hot melt glue outside it's good for girl scout crafts.
: If you're serious about the chain saw milling try to get your hands on a
: copy of "Chainsaw Lumbermaking" by Will Malloff, published by
: the Taunton Press. I think it's out of print, but it covers everything you
: need to know. Even a design for as mill attachment such as you describe. I
: don't know where you're located, but I'm in upstate NY near Albany and
: have a bandsaw mill. I'd be glad to do custom milling for anyone in the
: paddling community.

HI, I am located in IN. I use to have a friend that had a bandsaw saw mill he would bring to your logs, but he has sence retired. I had a walnut tree that had fallen down and so I decided that I would cut it for strips to accent my store bought cedar and pine. I am now ready to put my first walnut strip on.
