Milling a recently fallen dead chestnut. Bloody hard wood to mill. It’s been standing dead for years but came down in the storm.

Any pictures of the slabs?

Presumably you are using a pulling chain not pushing as per picture 🤔

Doing some 2” and quite a few 1” for some flooring.

Yes pulling not pushing.

The planks are 270cm long and about 50cm across. Nice size to be fair. 

 

Not sure about marking, if they get a good coating of something, should be alright I reckon. every time I mill up some boards/slabs/planks, the wood looks so good it is a shame to use it for anything other than a piece of something to look at. Dear me I have to find a way to make these saleable. LOL!

Silver Fir lump milled to 10"x 2".   Customer seemed happy with it.

Just having a play the other day with mill and used it to do a few cuts on an Elm stump.
