Walnut

[Forest2Furniture]

Now the weather has calmed down I've been able to finish the Walnut tree.

I used the side mill to split the last of the branch sections, the bans mill would have coped with the diameter but due to the bend I was likely to lose to much timber.

 

Once the customer has sticked out all the timber he wants he says I can take the rest.

Good result I think, I get paid for milling the tree and get a trailer wood as well, win, win!

Good work - and good pics!

And to finish, the boards sticked out.

Not by me, by the customer.

Ended up with a tidy few planks

I ground out a similar sized walnut tree stump where the rest of the tree had been cut up for firewood as there was only a 2' 6" gap to get it out!

Criminal waste of spectacularly beautiful indigenous wood. Even the root wood was special, and I've since found out that the very best English walnut high grade gun stocks come from a decent root. Worth considering if you need to shift a large one?

Could have easily chainsawmilled the main trunk.... not all walnuts are created equal and only some roots are worth £

walnut is not indigenous to the uk, it's native to the mountains of central asia.

And brought to the UK by the Romans I believe...

But apart from the Walnut, what did they ever do for us?
