Sawing Lap Siding 

Milling beveled lap siding gives a high value return from the logs you saw. With a portable band mill, Wood Mizer, Woodland Mills, Timbering, EZ Boardwalk, or any mill you can fabricate or purchase a lap siding attachment for, you yield for example, 2-1x8 beveled siding boards for the equivalent 1x8 square board. Check out how I make some 1x8 beveled cedar on my 1985 Mighty Mite portable band mill that came original with a lap siding table.
