Sure is Dave. Not a knot in that Oak.

Some beech, slow job at 32" wide and 2.9m long. Surprising colour in there, bit of red in the heart even.
Farmer is well surprised, nevere seen it done and amazed by the grain, colour etc..

From a milled Ash board the other week brought indoors and kept down the side of the  freezer out of direct heat. The Spalting is lovely.

Finished in Danish oil,

Needed to get some logs out of the way so made a start on the Burr maple today. Some beautiful boards  though a pain to try and photograph well due to how light toned they currently are.

Looked at pic.3 and went "phwoar - beautiful!"  Reckon the people in the next office will think I'm looking at porn... 😜

Started on a decent sized oak today. Haven’t got the 881 out yet. Gonna do the main stick with it. Used a 48” lo pro bar and Chinese 660 to get through the crotch section. About 5’ long and 50” wide at the widest point. Did a few 3” slabs and the rest just over 2.5”.

Back on the Norway Spruce for my Log Cabin Build. 

 

Late start today but managed to get 14 x 6" x 6" x 5.7m Beams knocked out. I had initially planned on just cutting the Beams and leaving a load of waste for firewood but ended up cutting 1" Waney boards and 6"x1" Boards as well. More time consuming but seemed a shame to waste the timber. Will either sell them or use them on my Drying shed whenever I get around to that.

Finished the beech today, last slabs were very nice, solid, no rot.
All at 2.5". Up to farmer to store and dry, then we will see in 2 years what to do with it[emoji15]

Made a finish to the 6m long Spruce Logs today. Two and a half days and 43 Logs Milled into 6”x6” beams. Ended up with 60x6x1”x5.7m boards. 35x1” waney boards as well. 
 

The Scabs where a good 1/3rd more than this at the end.
