Burr Elm, whats it worth

[Forest2Furniture]

That's shame but even with an alaskan on site the boards you'll get won't make it viable.

Those trees are 10 years pass milling.

I would defo look at the most burry bits first , but wouldn’t be happy to pay for it maybe , be given what is worth having for clearing the rest up , good luck with it I do hope you find some good stuff keep us posted 

Thanks Mark

we, i ended up getting them and milling them for the craic!!!!!

and to get some practice on the chainsaw mill.

as everyone suggested the timber is a bit on the soft side, but thinking a fat bit of resin on it will harden them up for a table for my misses and parent at least even if it does not seem good enough to sell to customers!!!!

funny you should ask,
it came with 2x 075's, one ran great, the other struggled to start, ran like crap etc, anyway, we put new barrel and piston on, carb kit, filter, crank seal bearings, etc etc.
it ran fine for a few days and started playing up again.

an 051 in good condition came up and i bought that, so at the moment we have 1 051 and 1 075 on it. and a 075 that we cant fix.

Bury the dinosaws on eBay, get an ms880.
You won't need two power heads.
Higher torque and 10-11k rpm in the wood.
051 and 075 are both solid saws but are prone to vibration problems.
The 075 particularly.
Did you make the mill?
Looks good and solid.

vibration problems ??? i need a pouch to catch the bolts that drop out each cut we make, thats with new AV mounts and EVERY bolt lock tighted in.

the mill is a sperber that on the advice of another arbtalker i removed the rollers off the top and had some aluminum box welded to it.
am deffo going to look into getting a ms880 in a few months.
has anybody ever run a newer saw with an older saw on a double head mill? thinking of slowley upgrading to 2 ms880's and a mill with a bigger cut over time. but i am concerned about the top end RPM differance
