Nice work though Si - looks a neat job - I've been making stickers in a workshop recently and it was so easy and fast...

Thanks for the input Jonathan,

I don't fancy re stacking em but I guess I need to. Might do as you did in the pic and lay two boards wide while I'm at it.

Did you go look at that oak in the end?

 

Nick, thanks mate.

The tree's oak BTW:sneaky2:

 

Didn't go see it in the end as I became inundated with large, good quality Oak locally. Thanks for your efforts though - much appreciated!

 

That is definitely Ash there Si - I would stake my sawmill on it!

Re stacked the slabs as advised, thanks Jonathan.

Hmm yes could well be ash:blushing: It came in as a load of oak for firewood. I pulled out a couple of the butts for myself. I'll see what the others are. Still nice to mill whatever it is

Very good stacking there! I'll not hold the species misidentification against you - the two can be fairly similar at times. It's the smell that distinguishes them more than anything for me.
