Today's milling

[Jcarbor]

Milled up an Oak log that had been festering in the yard.

A bit punky in places but not all bad.

Does that pick up contain a first aid kit by any chance? Your trucks livery in the uk would have people knocking on your door for a plaster[emoji23]

Made a start on milling some timber at the Arboretum in Romsey today. Getting some nice boards from this Oak. 10 ft long and just over 3 ft at the widest point x 3'' T.

Cutting some 16 inch reclaimed pitch pine on the Laimet

It would be fair to say I am no longer a fan of chainsaw milling but when a stick has this number of burrs and won't fit on the bandsaw mill needs must.

Stunning! What is it? Elm? I Milled a nice feature Elm a while ago with the Alaskan, was much easier with the first cut system and a hand winch.

Sweet Chestnut, it's one I felled in February and been putting off having to mill.

The tree is about 40' long, the rest of it once winched out and cut into 3m lengths

will fit on the bandsaw mill just not this bit.

Is there a particular reason you cut at 3m instead of the full Mill length?
