Yeah- rayburn it is. That table is from a huge oak i did at my sis/brother in laws in devon.

 

That poor 7.5 tonner was towing my 10' ifor with a two ton log on it. The springs were bent the wrong way, and that 6620 130hp deere had the back wheels off the groubd with a 950 kilo weight on the back.....the lorry didnt even lift!!!:001_tongue:I slabbed the oak- 3.8m long and 40" wide with the chainsaw mill. Each cut took about 1.5 tanks of fuel and needed sharpening after each cut. It was well worth the hassle though!

is that your sweaty stretch airs lying over the bench mate lol.

i have some big bits of oak sat aside for a balcony. i used to have some massive bits of lebanon that i kept for years, but when i changed yard yrs ago they flogged instead. still kicking myself.

Every time i have got a nice big log like that i have promised myself the middle board or two (quatersawn) but due to my wifes equine addiction -we have about 35 here at the mo:scared1:-i have ended up selling to pay a bill, so i know what you mean.That oak was buried at the bottom of the pile drying so got away with being kept:001_smile:

[Klaymeb]

I'll be there no doubt embarrassing myself getting roped in ('scuse the pun) to some sort of climbing display with Dionysus
