Sorry I am in Sussex and have some big lumps of a fairly big beech that came down in the recent storms. A 14 tonne digger had trouble pulling it out onto flat ground so we had to cut the cord into 3 pieces, but its a pretty good size beech. That's all I have. But probably be quite good for milling I would have thought. If I had a mill I might have done it myself and used the planks. Hope you find something.

Yeah get a mill but be warned it’s just like crack milling is addictive I love it every time you turn over the first board and see the grain .

I agree, mills should come with some sort of warning:

Danger!!! your garage/house/barn/garden WILL be filled with sawn timber.
Long term users often feel a deep sense of well being interrupted by brief outbursts of swearing when the mill stops working.

Classic symptoms are:
Covered in sawdust,
A thousand yard stare when you mention burrs,pippy,Elm,ripples..
Covered in sawdust...
Facial drool whilst staring at park trees you know you'll never ever be able to mill....
Covered in sawdust.

Did I mention sawdust?

Then you get to start milling big stuff and you say:
"**** I can't lift that"
Going to need some bigger kit.....

You were warned ok?!

What saw do you use on the mill, I’m guessing it’s gotta be big
