Chainsaw Lumber Making by Will Malloff is a pretty useful book.

Forest Trees of Australia is an excellent book, particularly for identification of species as it is well illustrated. For the properties of timber I don't think you can go past Wood in Australia by Keith Bootle.

Thanks
Hi Lads
Thanks for the book list I just ordered the "The Tree fellers manual" and "Forest Trees of Australia". I think i have the "Carlton Chain Sharpening Complete Book" from one of BobL's posts a while ago and I just downloaded "Chainsaw Lumber Making by Will Malloff"
Thanks itsposs, BobL and Bushmiller.
I have just gone throught the first few pages of chainsaw lumber making and can't wait to get it printed out.
If anyone else want's a copy PM me and I will put it up on my FTP site.

Be careful, a guy on the Arboristsite in the US did that and got a nasty letter from a lawyer that worked for the publisher of the book. The book is out of print but the publisher still reserves the rights to it but won't publish as they say they won't sell enough copies.
Anyway, about the book. It has lots of ideas but it was written in the 1980's and so it is a little out of date. For example, he just recommends a fixed raker depth for milling whereas we now know that progressive raker depth setting provides a better cutting speed throughout the life of a chain. There is also no need to be using mixes of 25:1 or 20:1. But the list of jigs and rigs he shows for milling up wood are pretty impressive and I got lots of idea from it.
