Hi all,

I am milling a large monkey puzzle tomorrow, 3 lumps at 10ft long each over the 30 ft it tapers from 3ft 6" to 2ft 6". im not sure what it will get used for, any advice on what thickness i should mill it? if it can be milled too thin or thick and have problems drying? it has started to go a little brown around 12" across the middle of the heart on biggest section but is still solid.

I am not sure what it is goin to be used for, most likely table tops, window cills and anything else i could persuade people to buy it for!!!!

thanks, John

above / below are photos of the 3 smaller sections of monkey puzzle. the biggest bit is still on site, it must be about 2 tonne as my tractor wont offer to lift it and will will manage 1.5 tonne not too bad.

the diameter of the 3 sticks i have out are as follows, dont think they were as big as i remember....

2'10" - 2'7"

2'4" - 2'3"

2'3" - 1'10"

any advice on how best to cut it so timber is not wasted would be much appreciated, if it has to be cut into a big block and dry for some time, so be it, how much time etc.

Thanks, John
