What's it gonna be?

some more, we used the alaskan to break it down, keeping a few rings for big table projects in the future, then maxed the woodmizer out, in fact had to take it off and make it smaller then try again,,,

final few planks , loads of offcuts to remill, and all the top of the log to make into a chainsaw carved shell, and mushroom tops etc,,, no waste here, by far the biggest tree ive milled, thanks arbtalk ,for putting this tree to a good use,,,,

Excellent work. Sequoia is a dream to cut, only I wish I got to cut it when it was still a sensible size. Done two this year - one at 5.5ft and the other 6ft diameter!

cheers guys, the bottom 4ft was 6ft round, decided to put this too one side for maybe a kids castle project,,watch this space,,,
