Another day on the Mill. Mostly plain Jane Scottish Oak but also some Cherry.




Swapped the days work for a couple of cracking Ash Saw Logs and a good 1t lump of Elm.

Lots of lovely stock there; and is that burry bit the Elm?  If so how will you mill that?

Milled this the other day, log dog?

No, it’s the bit with the tape measure on it. It’s a good size. Too big for my Bandsaw so will get an Alaskan to Mill it. 
 

I don’t know what that gnarly lump to the right is to be honest? Don’t think it’s Elm though. It was touch and go if I was gonna get the Elm or not as he does not see much these days. I’m sure it was his only bit.

Might be. He never mentioned it when we where looking through his stack. Id imagine its not that interesting as 1, he never tries to entice me with it and 2, he never seems that fussed to get it milled. 

 

We willed a bunch of Sweet Chestnut when I was over last If it was that he'd have me mill it then as well. He'd not bother with Horse.
