That looks clean. I looked at a good lump today also, they want it milled into various benches/tables situated around the school, the big collections of knuckles and branch unions interest me more though.

Must have taken a pro to get that to your yard Mark.

It’s a Spencer timber tape used in felling for linear measuring of sawlogs/bars etc, imperial one side, metric the other.

The butt has a 1.5m diameter and 2.5m long, it must have been an impressive Oak when it was standing.

Will be a fun project Milling that up.

The huge knuckles and included unions should produce some interesting stuff too, It was standing in the grounds of a large private school, hopefully it should be free of iron.

What’s the dangerous looking slicing machine in the yard picture? Victorian branch logger or mangle wurzel chopper?
