	Reading Mark's post while having my first cuppa this morning, I
wondered if anyone on the List has ever used an Alaskan Mill using a chain
saw to make his own cribbing?  I have two large piles of mostly oak, maple
and beech logs - estimated by the logger at 40 full cords in log lengths -
and probably should be making not only some cribbing but some rough cut
planks. It appears from the sales literature from Bailey's logger's supplies
that not only are the Alaskan mills fairly cheap but they do a good job on
the rough stuff. My 372XP Husky should be able to handle a long bar and a
ripping chain.
