Thanks again, johng

Your granberg.com link is exactly what I was looking for. Even though we use a chainsaw in Accompong Town mainly for cutting wood for charcoal, occasionally we use our 20" Poulan Pro to cut some board using an old, bent-outta-shape guide that gets more difficult with each cut.

They have one for $170 that will work.

Thanks again.

Peace and Guidance

No problem Brother Accompong!!!

You might also want to purchase some ripping chain specially designed for making boards. Not too expensive. All you need to know is the pitch and gauge of your nar / chain and number of links. Maybe buy two or three as when they get dull cutting is almost impossible. easy to sharpen with a file but having a couple spare allows you to stay in the grove without interruption.
