Had a thought today ( I know, rare and dangerous occurrence).
I'm having difficulty justifying an expensive bandsaw with a large cut to myself (let alone Fin Dir), as it just wouldn't get the use, as I can only do max 9 inch on my lathe anyway.
So............ for the few bowl blanks that I would cut from logs and branches, would an electric chainsaw be OK to do the initial chopping up?
I could then get a smaller depth cut bandsaw (or table saw) for pen blanks and the smaller bowl stuff.
Would that work?
