That timber looks stunning 

Yeah it is🤣 sadly it’s not mine… 

fortunately the client is into guitars in a big way, so some will get sent to a luthier. The rest will go for furniture in the clients house. 👍

He works hard, it`s easy to stay in shape doing that kinda work. 🙂

Had a fairly large pine come down in the recent stormy weather. Gonna mill it up. 

 

Do you think it is worth milling the usual 10' lengths by 55-60mm boards? 

 

I might keep some for making larger pieces for 2x4's

 

Any thoughts? Obviously it is down to preference and use, just wondering what others might have done with pine on the milling front.
