Reason I was asking, I was reading a back issue of a magazine about using a band saw for sawing lumber, the guy likes to cut his logs with a chain saw, then clean up the chain saw marks with a power hand planer to make a level side before re-sawing. Sounded like a neat idear. A flat side would make it easier to re-saw, and cutting bowl blanks. Or maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to buy another tool. :gar-Bi

I have got a mostly flat surface after just splitting a log with a wedge by using a hand power planner. I am sure it would do great with the chain saw marks.Reason I was asking, I was reading a back issue of a magazine about using a band saw for sawing lumber, the guy likes to cut his logs with a chain saw, then clean up the chain saw marks with a power hand planer to make a level side before re-sawing.
