Got this bit of yew, 700 butt end, 600 other

What's best thickness to mill at 40mm or something?? 

Will sell green

If selling then nothing under 55mm unless to order. 40mm is not generally used in any type of timber work

Some Milling at a customers today. To some it’s Brown Oak, to me it’s just Oak. 🤣

 

Splitting the timber with the owner. Works for me.

Managed to knock out over 40 slabs. All 2-3”.

One log had some “Roughty Rot”. The Farmer can keep them. 🤣

Proper knackered now, like. 

 

We're going halfers on them so thats why they're laid out and not stickered as tomorrow we'll divvy them up. 

 

 

And as I jetted each log down first I managed to make a single band last the whole day. Never managed that yet. Would never manage it with Softwood mind. Ive had bands give up the ghost after a single DF log (30").
