Somehow you seem to consistently find the most rotten logs.

That’s character mate!
I get asked for all sorts of mad wood...
Few weeks ago guy wanted rotten slabs which fall apart... to resin back together.
That whole log sold in an hour.

Thats ace! 

 

That last bunch of Oak I milled on my Bandsaw, so 24" wide max. 2" thick and 2.7m long Trailer full of them. Put them on facebay at £120-150 each and got called away. The amount of messaged ive had is unreal. One guy wants 8 of them. Will see how that pans out when I get home, but will be buying a stock if they sell this easily.

Started this job 4 weeks ago and have finally cut the last board.  Great start for the new machine

Bought this little stick of Sycamore on Friday and milled it yesterday.

Some nice colour to the boards.
