Milled 500 (about) year old Oak

[Andy Collins]

We felled this timber in an avenue a year or so ago, at an old country house. My friend Matt called me last night and asked if Id like to have a look at its progress. He knocked up the rustic bench out of some of the timber, so even in the trees death, it will live on in the grounds for a while longer. Nice to have a day just pootling about the Suffolk countryside messing about with timber

Andy that looks great ..., looks like tiger oak though, last time I felled some big diameter stuff that was double the guide bar length on an 88 was about the only time we got serious money of a timber merchant !
