You need some fluffy slipper tracks for indoors

When you get asked for a favour by your dad to drop a few trees at the local rugby club.

I felt so bad I'm lending them the greenmech to clear it up tomorrow.

Hi Mark,
I prefer to mill sooner rather than later, as the wood is softer and easier to cut when green.
To properly season a 30" log would take decades in the round.

An old boy who runs a little mill down the road told me he once bought some oak sawlogs from a farmer, who had dry stored them in a shed for 30+ years. The sap wood was totally dust, but the heartwood was as green as the day it was cut.
