Edging
Edging a flitch involves removing the natural or
waney edges, turning it into lumber with four fin-
ished sides. Using an edger is the quickest and
simplest way of edging, but edging can also be
done with a sawmill. For many sawyers running
singe-mill operations, using a mill for edging is
the default.

each cut.
To edge flitches using a sawmill:
1. Clamp multiple flitches to track bed, using log
supports to ensure flitches are perpendicular
to track (see
Figure 37). Take care that log
clamp holds flitches tight against supports.
2. Cut to remove bark from the tallest flitches.
Cut as many flitches as possible without
wasting excessive lumber (see
Figure 37).

5. Clamp single-edged flitches to track bed,
using flat edges and log supports to ensure
flitches are perpendicular to track (see
Figure

preparation for second edging.
6. Repeat Steps 2–3 until all flitches have been
edged on both sides.
3. Remove edged flitches, then secure the rest
(see Figure 38).
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 until all flitches have been
edged once (see
Figure 38).
