Been busy with the chainsaw felliing a load of larch (and some hemlock) that have been overshadowing our garden (and more importantly, the PV panels, so costing real money 
). The boles are about 12" diameter max, now cut into 6-10 feet lengths and I was wondering about planking some of them on the 352. Obviously, a coarse tooth blade as wide as possible, and rig up some infeed/outfeed support, but any advice on whether to do it now, while they are still wet, or allow some drying to take place? My thinking was that they are probably easier to cut wet, but a d**n sight heavier!
Alternative is to use the chainsaw, but wastage would be excessive. Or find someone with a bandmill, but for the amount available (some 10 trunks), that's probably expensive overkill.
