Made a start, 3" slabs from here on in?? 700mm wide , 3m long
Stupidly hit the screw holding the ladder in place on last run.. need a serious sharpen first.

Lucky you. Ain't got no walnut round my place. I think I'll have to get some imported to site, just for the experience of doing some walnut. Great colour.

Thats amazing! And the owner did not want it back? 

 

Did it actually produce Walnuts?

He had most of the smaller bits for firewood. I helped ring up as he only has a handsaw[emoji15] .
Quite some rot too, lots of hollow bits, the stump was also pretty rotten. He was going to burn the lot, I will return him some nice bits in couple of years..

Back on the oak. Maybe too good for truss ties but will be exposed.

Rush order, rush prices. [emoji16]

Knocked up some 4x4 chestnut posts. Milled slabs and then used the edging mill to make up the posts. Quite easy when you know how.

When you " know how " has a lot going for it 🙂
