Today's milling

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

I normally use them in my own stoves but I’m rapidly running out of room and time to process them. I’m giving them away just now til I can get to a stage I have the time to process them. Soon I’ll be burning the lot. 😁

Had a rush order for a Mantle. So milled two the same size. One from a standing dead oak and one from a wee pippy oak. Nice couple of hours milling in the afternoon sun.

Who's buying green of the mill mantles?

Not 100% sure what you’re asking but if it’s who’s buying green oak for Mantles then I guess this guy. 🤣 I offered the dry Standing Dead at £450 or the Green at £300. After discussing how none of my Green Mantle’s in the house have moved an inch he went with the Green. 
 

This 8”x8” Mantle above my Esse Ironheart was A knotty green firewood log. It sees constant heat blasting it day and night. Not budged. 
 

I also milled a green Mantle 6”x4” for my daughters bedroom and it’s not moved either. 
 

This might be because I’m using the heartwood from much larger logs than the mantle is?
