I know a farmer who was doing up an old farmhouse over a period of years. He felled some nice old oak trees and had them milled into planks he seasoned in a barn for four years and had it made into a kitchen worktops and unit doors. The best kitchen i have ever seen you can't beat a bit of oak.

 

I love your mill i wanted to buy one here but the powers that be could not see a use for it:thumbdown:

Ive long believed this is the way to go, we have accses to so much large hardwood in back gardens, a portable version of these small mills is defo a way to turn waste cord into a valuable resource. And way better than going to pulp/fuel etc as carbon is locked up for sometimes hundreds of years.

 

some of those beams in york must be ancient, well before the industrial revolution, carbon sink with an asthetic appeal.

A farmer where I get some wood from is building a traditional oak beamed barn at the present moment in time. The oak beams are amazing, huge great bloody things. Oak out of his own wood too. Going to use oak for window ledges and door/window frames etc. He has already replaced all the window frames in the farm house and had them remade with his own timber. Fascinating chap and farm, would be a dream to have money to play like that.
