When is the proper time to turn after your first and second cut?

The rule of thumb - Anything that is smaller than 6 inches is not usable. So, on your first pass, open up until you have a clean 6 inch path on either side of that cut with no bark, then turn and do the same thing again. This allows you to get square, and even board, so when you put it back on the mill to edge it later, you still have something that is usable.
