Large elm butt .. double ended setup

[The avantgardener]

Check out the Instagram account video of Copfordsawmill, they have just sawn a massive London Plane Butt, 12 tonnes I believe.

Yep, definitely go to Copford Sawmill with that. You stand to lose hundreds and hundreds of pounds (maybe close to £1000) to sawdust if you chainsaw mill it.

 

Much easier to get someone else to mill it for you and a bandmill like a WM1000 is literally effortless to use, as opposed to pushing/winching a double ended set up though burr elm. 

 

Andy - the blades on a mill like a WM1000 are actually quite cheap as they are only 50mm wide.

Blackwater Road I think.  If so the tree was a sapling when I was a member of the establishment in the background ?
