Milled a few more slabs for other benches and projects down the road. Haven't done this in a long time. First time here in the new home of North Carolina. I forgot how much fun it is. Old Husky 395xp was fantastic! One tank of gas and one chain for five cuts. #Post#: 81760-------------------------------------------------- Re: Benches By: 3000 FPS Date: March 12, 2018, 11:03 am --------------------------------------------------------- Very nice Ray. I was wondering what you put on the bench to help keep the wood from discoloring over time. #Post#: 81761-------------------------------------------------- Re: Benches By: rayvil01 Date: March 12, 2018, 11:12 am --------------------------------------------------------- Honestly, I was going to let mine weather. But after a couple of days looking at it I am havimg second thougjts. I will have to do some research. The wood is still very green. Anything solid like polyurethane would fail for sure. #Post#: 81764-------------------------------------------------- Re: Benches By: Chainsawrepair Date: March 12, 2018, 12:51 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Very nice.

If I can keep from using them for testing. I might try something like this. But not near as nice. Just something to seat on etc when 3-4 of us back there testing the saws out. #Post#: 81790-------------------------------------------------- Re: Benches By: rayvil01 Date: March 14, 2018, 8:25 am --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Cut4fun . link=topic=6892.msg81773#msg81773 date=1520948041] Ohio.
