Fiinally got round to getting Steve and his lucas in today.

Milled first butt into 8x1 floor boards, and few 8x2 coz we could.

Second butt went into 4.5"x7.5" sill blanks.

Oak had to be felled high due to fencing wore we couldnt remove.

A few blue stains in the tree but thankfully no more metal was found.

First butt(the bottom half) was excellent with only a few minor patches of rot.

Second butt had a few largeish areas of rot but this was to be expected because of a couple of broken limbs.

Both sticks measured around 3.8m and had a diameter of around 1150mm with little taper.

Will post some pics of produce tomorrow.Heres a few of the milling, more to follow.

There's nothing quite like a swing mill when she's set up on a good size log and cutting well!

 

Perfect for 8" by anything...
