The bandsaw mill i got came with a water drip system for the blade, it was ok, but I found the water didn't do anything for the sap, just helped keep the blade cool. Grant (old timer neighbour) told me that at the end of each cut he would spray the blade (not too much) with a mix of diesel and transmission fluid. This lubricated and cleaned the blade. The first inch or two of a cut would take that off anyways so it won't discolor the wood. I found i would get more cuts out of a blade with it.

Similar to the chain lube on a chainsaw.

Cheers!

Such beautiful artwork, yours and natures. They are both fascinating, yours takes a few strokes of a brush, and natures develops over a few decades. Nice reveal on both perspectives.
