Wow - stunning!  We mill loads of Sycamore, but never had logs quite that dramatic!  The colour does fade as it dries, but hopefully not too much.

Was rather pleased! 

Will be interesting how the colour changes with time, we'll see 👍

Fantastic looking colours. Surprised to see that on sycamore.

Milled up some short posts and then had them finished on the table saw for fencing.

Lucky to get hold of some more really nice Oak lately, cracking little telehandler hired in for the weekend.

Looks good.
What you paying for decent oak at the moment?

It’s a total lottery in reality after this winters storms. Maybe on average £100-120 a ton possibly a bit more if it’s nice.

Milling lots of Sequoia at the moment (Coast Redwood not Giant).  We should plant more of this - stunning grain and dries in no time and super stable and durable.  I will be using a load myself soon so I will upload some pics as the build progresses in an appropriate thread.

Looking beautiful that sequoia. Crikey mate!

There was lots planted around houses in Ireland in the 19th Century and lots of it is coming down now. It would be nice to get hold of some.
