Today's milling

[Rough Hewn]

If a customer only wants 2 slabs then be daft to say sorry you have to buy the whole tree.

Mostly I sell wholesale.
10 or 20 pieces off the top.
Otherwise I’d spend my whole life measuring and photographing slabs.
Big slabs yeah you can buy 1 but I prefer to sell in bulk as it’s so much less hassle.
And big buyers know what they’re looking at too! [emoji106]

What happens when wee jimmy comes in and asks for two slabs four up from bottom of stack here, and one from three from bottom of stack there?  Or do you sell complete stack only?

 

Pmsl a get exactly that problem just had to move 10 slabs to get one off the bottom

Took a chance on a piece of elm today, few soft spots in centre but nothing major. 
last pic is the back Mark I promise it won’t go in firewood pile 👍👍

Some lovely slabs there mate worth the effort to mill rather than ring for the fire

Must have been a day for milling in Scotland. [emoji16]

Few more Oak logs on the Logosol.



Shifting 9’x22”x3” slabs is so much easier on the back with the Avant to hand.




Thought this log might have yielded some interesting 4” slabs but got nothing but a single 8” beam out the heart.



Trying to convince another mate to part with one of his oak sawlogs as my brother needs a 13’ x 6x8” beam. He’s playing hard to get though. Since I’ll be milling his stash for him soon I’m sure he’ll relent. 🤣

You seem to have a Vimek 606 in the background - what's the story?
