Sawing-from-the-log will yield you about 1/3 more wood (that's a guess)...
This is a bit of a Frankenthread, but I'm curious about what kind of saw you use to cut billets. Chainsaw? Wood-miser? Big ol' buzz-saw?
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')
