Big oak butt

[222parsons]

I’ve got a big oak butt approx. 48 Inches diameter and about 8m long and it seems a waste to log it up. Looking for ideas... Wondered if any mobile mills exist that can handle it? Maybe someone has a forest truck that can pick it up?

Location near Taunton. 

Any advice much appreciated.

If anyone has a Lucas mill in the area and fancies milling it for me, I'll have it.

i'd be interested in some nice quartersawn boards from a tree that size.

I have a Peterson mill in Hampshire, about 2 hours away. Could come up and mill it over 2 days if the access is ok for wheeling the machine in..

That could work. Can you message me with prices please?
