To follow up we've started knocking them over and I'm certainly enjoying felling between the rain.  Here's a few pictures from the first week

Those are some good looking Saw logs.
There's got to be a mill somewhere who would take them.
Chip prices are £20-£40 a ton.
Those logs are £100 a ton all day.
(And it would be bloody near criminal to chip them!!!!)

i’ve got a stack of milling timber in my yard that i cut on my bandsaw for jobs around the place

the reality of it is, is that a lot of timber isn’t that good so now i only save the decent or exceptional stuff and chip everything else

chip pays the bills and allows me to save some stuff for my own use like gate posts etc around home

That's the spot. We'll see how many we can get out before we make too much mess

I have cut some stuff there in the past. Felling nice straight Sessile/English Oak to reveal the older and massively suppressed Oak for wildlife habitat.

There where some monster Turkey’s on there, the whole lot need to go.

Yeah, I'm starting to get really fussy about what I mill.
