milling pics and vids

I felled a Box Elder tree in the spring of this year, and spent a very nice afternoon milling it yesterday. I haven’t had the time to do very much mill, so I am very pleased with the results.

I milled some amazing elm last week and a big oak this weekend oak was a bit too big for my mill but I managed boards were 22 inch wide.https://youtu.be/yNabsDAZEZU

What an art. I want to try an Alaskan mill myself

Anyone any idea of how much these boards are worth roughly?

Until they are dry, not a lot.

I'm now running a Logosol farmers mill along side the Alaskan mills. Wish i got one years ago.

What's the bar stability like on the farmers mill?
What length bar are you using?
Great looking timber mate.

Husky 365 with the 30'' Low pro set up. Did have a bit of flex so as you can see in this picture robbed the bar clamp from the Alaskan which stopped that but had it clamped at different depths so had a bow in the bar and it also put to much weight on bar nose so will get something lighter made up. Learn something every day. Got a load of Sweet Chestnut to carry on with next. Had my Daughter helping out for the morning she had great fun.

Nice - how does your 365 get on with a 30" bar?
