Nice day out milling Oak, Cedar and Lime. Left the mill there and will do another day milling Cedar again. Really maxed out the mill on the Oak. 

I guess you were milling for different jobs? What's the lime for? 👍

It’s all for the same customer. Dunno what the Lime is for to be honest. I think they thought it was Oak. 🤣 They had so many trees come down in last years storms. 
 

They are currently building a very impressive Pool House and the Oak is supposedly going in there. The Cedar is for the Sauna and decking. Some serious money getting pumped in.

I’m totally knackered now though. Turning 30-32” Oak logs on my Tod is no fun. The Cedars nice though. Smells amazing.

 

What course are you on?

Best few days weather we’ve had up here for a while and I’m off to work on Thursday too 🤮, just replied to the guy with the greenheart, not sure what Island he’s on but you never know might be able to help and throw the 880 in the pick up.

Not many trees near where I’m working Les I think the bloody wind sees to that. I always thought Greenheart was imported !!. 

there is an experimental plantation I think that says something on a sign abut seeing if it would cope with wind etc ( I’ll take a pic and post it if I’m up there again)
