I think Rob D has milled some a long time ago nice boards , I have a small beam and my 880 bounced off it when I tried to mill it with my Alaskan but nice boards I would defo say yes to some more a dinning table would be ace , good luck with it and do post some pics if you do mill some 

Cheers Mark

Its a beautiful timber when quartersawn, but very prone to cracking or splitting if tangentially sawn.

 

Great inclination to split radially... 

 

I sawed up  2  rough ancient 14x14  piles 25 years ago,    lots of great firewood, a splintery axe handle {bad idea.} and enough timber to top a tilt top table..

 

Must laminate it together...should be dry by now!  

 

Thanks for the reminder!

 

Would make amazing quartersawn flooring...

 

Watch for splinters though, mine went septic in 30 minutes!
