Newby on the milling front

[Treespotter]

A couple of weeks ago my Ecomill set was delivered. Fitted it on my 75 cm bar on the Dolly together with a milling chain. That combo rocks. In no time I milled enough to make myself a new garden picknick set. Last week I ordered through Koxdirect a 90 cm (36 inch) bar and 115 dl milling chain.

 

Ready for Friday... A year ago I had to take down a nice walnut tree in a backyard with zero access ability. I was not going to cut it into firewood just to get it out of the garden. So Friday is D-day for the tree. The old lady found a carpenter that will transform my milled slabs into a table for her son.

To be continued...

Good luck with the milling! I'm not sure that there are many of us who's first tree milled was a walnut. Most of us just practice with some crappy sycamore or beech!

 

Looking forward to the photos.

Two weeks ago I took down a conifer and milled it. This probably is going to be a little harder.

This is the first stash.

Yeah the first butt I milled was Beech but I managed to get 2 pairs of book matched spalted boards , be warned though milling is addictive, good luck

Thanks. I noticed that too.

As expected, this was a fine tree.

Good work Wolter

Nice bit of wood there!

Bit of advice: put more stickers in! Get them right near the very ends of the board as well, the way that stack is now it's likely that the ends of the boards will move meaning a lot of timber wasted.

 

Fijne Paasdagen!

Thanks Daniël. I'll keep that in mind for the next time. But I think this stack is not left there for long.
The lady that owned the tree has already contacted http://woodend.nl for a table.
