Today's milling

[Will Heal]

Milled these beech boards up last week.
I haven’t stickered them yet but was wondering weather to bother, maybe I’ll get some nice spalting?

That saw milled the lot. Good old saw!

Get them stickered or they will get surface mold and staining.

Nice little mill there. I guess you can only slab up fairly small stuff with that? 

Thankyou and the mill opens up to do a max cut of 27 1/2" or 700mm if needed so not too bad but my chainsaw bar is only 24" anyway.

But I never use the chainsaw mill as iv made a bandsaw mill which can cut 23 1/2" wide which is enough for logs I can kind of handle at the minute, plan for the future is to have a big decided chainsaw mill setup to brake down big logs befor bandsaw milling them into boards etc. No time for nothing at minute tho house renovation.....

what would you recommend i do with these slabs of beech, i've just got 3, 5 ton ratchet straps on them, mega mega tight

they will be outside a little while before they go in the kiln

 

then a sheet of celotex over the top 

 

is there more i should be doing to make sure they don't move, they'll be for table tops so!!

thanks

I put weight on top of my wood load of concrete blocks bricks etc and also you could stack some more wood on top of them for more weight can be any dry wood too.

Looking at the pic I can see the straps not stopping the middle of the top board cupping up if it wanted too but it might not some wood types don't move much but some do.

2 days for me that would be. 1 of my regular saw guys who is well up to speed cutting on a woodlands HM 130 But i have an excavator for loading which takes the heavy work out of it. 2 days x 2 men but i wound maximise each log 

That's some going, there's 90 trunks in that pile

Looked at a job today in a small woodland.
Anyone ever milled burred ash? Or is it cankered?

Well that looks more burry to me.  Either way I think you are in for a treat when you mill it.

 

I have milled small cankered ash - lovely stuff, let me see if I have a pic....
