Off the 1946 Craftsman tilting arbor few days ago.. I measured 1569 feet (another 100' reserve in various state) of 1/4+1/32x3/4" strip trimmed to a 3 degree edge- 1870s old growth eastern white pine in 4-12'. Huge waste sawing 4 12' planks into 1" billets, turning to saw the quarter and rift faces. Used door frames as well grain of 23+ rings per inch common in the pile color honey to pumpkin to pink will post pics when it comes to building strongback. Nick's microBootlegger (~1256') is pretty likely candidate but I change my mind.
