Not 'Todays Milling'  but could be tomorrows - I've been offered some Elm.

 

It's not that large but I am undecided if is worth the effort of extraction and milling. Maybe all into 3" planks and sit on them for a few years.

 

1st image is 2 sticks 3m x 18" diameter.

 

2nd image stick is 3.5m x 2ft diameter.

 

3rd image shows what the timber is like.

 

What do you think ?

some ash and syc milled recently, some nice pieces in it, plenty more to go too.

 thinking it might be worth making a solar kiln, anyone done this? I can sell dry timber all day long, less interest in green stuff. It's a long wait for a return when air drying...

also a few big spruce, all for 6x3s. Made a few raised beds out of them.

Ready to mill. Bit scary, as you only get chance.. 600x600mm at narrow end. 3880mm long. Having a go with an 076 and 36" bar on chilaskan
4" slabs..20210328_172933.jpeg20210328_172918.jpeg

Nice looking log, should get some  nice clean slabs from that.

Was hard get out and up the bank. Had to drop, unwind, and winch up a few times[emoji6]. Once on yard,lifted one side at a time and pressure washed. Then tidied ends up. This was all easy...20210311_143755.jpeg
