Check out this nice beech I have just bought to mill up next week. It weighs over 3 t

[difflock]

Hmmm,

nominal 3' dia, say 900mm

put a slightly longer bar on the 026, rather than the 400mm she bes sporting.

An bobs yer uncle.

though depending on the lay of the tree, the 400mm bar might hack it.

With a gob the full depth of the bar.

Leaving 100mm of a hinge in the middle 1/3 (width wise) of the tree.

PS

Men with small(er) tools can still deliver.

Stupid question but is beech really worth milling?? Whats it good for?

 

Ive got 2 probably bigger than that to take down when the weathers better but was just gonna log them up...

Beech is a lovely timber to use. Great for all indoor joinery, chopping boards, work tops, benches. It's slightly out of fashion at the moment, but I don't have a problem selling things I make from beech. If you were nearer to me I'd be interested in buying the saw logs.
