Some things moving

[slack ma girdle]

I was going to ask how the bolster pins were holding up but looks like one has taken a beating mate.

I was wrestling a large oak log and bent it when it slipped.

Oh bugger. Sure it'll straighten up with some heat applied and a good bit of mechanical assistance! That's how I got mine back to kinda straight.

Flat, easy felling, low levels of brambles, and decent oak for firewood.

Only joiners remove sapwood.
Those are milling logs!
Beautiful dark heartwood!
The wide sapwood contrasts it beautifully!
Where are you based?

Those log bullets look excellent. Can anyone tell me how much they are ? PM if you don’t want to put it in the thread.

Some nice log piles going on here [emoji106]

[IronMike]

Anywhere from about 26k for the basic model, up to around 32k with all bells and whistles. Plus shipping costs too of about 1k ish. 

[IronMike]

By bells and whistles I mean bed extension, boom extension on crane, 600kg winch on crane, large grapple, updated controls, tipping body for bunk, clam shell inserts for grapple etc etc.

Hello Rough hewn, i am based in SW Pembrokeshire

Hello Slack,
It’s a bit far for me,
But I’m sure there’s loads of millers in that area who’d love some nice brown oak like that.
You’d get more than firewood prices without the hassle of processing and storing...
