All my outers of the logs like your pile I dry and sell for fire wood.

I normally use them in my own stoves but I’m rapidly running out of room and time to process them. I’m giving them away just now til I can get to a stage I have the time to process them. Soon I’ll be burning the lot. 😁

Well, got to use a Branch Logger to get rid of all the Scabs. In two and a half hours Id bagged up fourteen 1-1/4 cube vented bags. Just a wee bit to go tomorrow, maybe another 2 bags.

Had a rush order for a Mantle. So milled two the same size. One from a standing dead oak and one from a wee pippy oak. Nice couple of hours milling in the afternoon sun.

Who's buying green of the mill mantles?

Who's buying green of the mill mantles?

Not 100% sure what you’re asking but if it’s who’s buying green oak for Mantles then I guess this guy. 🤣 I offered the dry Standing Dead at £450 or the Green at £300. After discussing how none of my Green Mantle’s in the house have moved an inch he went with the Green. 
 

This 8”x8” Mantle above my Esse Ironheart was A knotty green firewood log. It sees constant heat blasting it day and night. Not budged. 
 

I also milled a green Mantle 6”x4” for my daughters bedroom and it’s not moved either. 
 

This might be because I’m using the heartwood from much larger logs than the mantle is?

I’m using the Logrite. Think it’s a 48”? 
 

Buy the Woodlands one though, it’s still a Logrite just painted Green. 😁

The Stihl one is Logrite as well. At least that’s orange as well. 😁
