Good lord. A meme I didn’t know. I’m quite up on them usually. Genuinely thought it was an otter. I am ironically booking an eye test tomorrow.

Good man! Can’t see many meme lords here. 😁I’m surprised anyone even knew what they where.

I’m even nearly a car bloke. Watch MCM and a few other bits on YouTube and hand a mate spanners while he tries to make his beemer go faster.

Get him to hand you a magnifying glass next time. 🤣

Wish I had this Cedar of Lebanon log at twice the length, but at fully five feet wide and eight feet long still the largest slab I have produced so far.  I am praying that the largest section of this tree is also free of nails...

 

Come to think of it handling the log was difficult enough as it was, certainly neither my forklift nor telehandler would lift it.

Just wondering what will be done with them?

They are all being sold individually, but I suspect mainly they will become dining tables.  And if any of my customers simply screw on tripod legs to each corner the slab will self-destruct on my command.

Got the mill out for the first time in many months. Dropped a fairly big dead ash last week. Milling it up now. A nice straight 40 feet to mill up.

I thought I'd have a go at some silver birch that's been felled for about 3 years now. Might have been rotten but there was only one way to find out. Maybe 5 but probably 4 boards out of it. Milled quite thin (1.5") not sure what I'm going to do with them though.....

Very nice.  Why more people don't mill Birch and Alder I have no idea.  Such a waste.
