Walnut Butt

So next on the mill is this Walnut my question is would you cut the kinked end off or try and get it on the mill as is

Thanks Mark

Why would you not try first? Get it on the Bed and have a look?  Then if there’s no way the Saw ahead will pass trim the bare minimum you need to.

Try and keep the kink in the planks, someone might like it as a kitchen counter top end. If it doesn't work out it can always be cut off afterwards.

Couple of times I’ve had to take a second bite on a cut at a log with a bend in it after moving it to allow posts past. Bit of a hassle to re level but often worth it.

Keep it full if possible.
Nice stick [emoji106]

Cost me £50 and £100 to get it moved

I need a logging arch, but I was so shocked at the price of steel to make one, I have the trailer

I quoted on a small walnut removal recently.
Only 6’ trunk about 20” the rest was a lots of thin branches.
Feeling generous, I told him I’d knock £200 off for the stem. (Way too much).
From the £600 it would cost to remove it.
Guy says it’s too much.
I tell him no problem and leave.
Now I’m getting photos of the same walnut from local tree surgeons I know asking the price of the trunk.
Client wants the job done for the trunk....
Oh that highly valuable black walnut....
