Thanks for posting the pictures they look good better than I taught, I still would like to rotate and cut but it's too big for me to do anything else with it.thanks again:thumbup:

We always used to rotate and take the best burrs off, this was the customers wish to through and through it

No sawmills near you? Might be worth having it milled up if you can't get the most out of it?

[tommy d]

There is one he has a big stenner but lifting transporting and cutting not sure what it would cost but I'm not in a hurry to cut it. I cut the other log off it just about, had to do a bit of trimming some really nice boards so don't want to waste it there a lot more burr on this section

[tommy d]

Managed to cut some of this log yesterday ended up splitting it in half and milling it on the Woodmizer pretty happy with the result.

Very nice, shame it's got straight edges on it but very charector full

[tommy d]

Ya would have been better to cut it thru, anyone got an idea what boards like that be worth per cubic foot

When dry to a furniture maker, a lot of money

[tommy d]

How much is a lot of money and what thickness is most popular for burr oak. I'm a cabinet maker myself and never come across timber like this I bought the woodmizer and built a solar kiln (which I now regret since I seen big js kiln) because I cannot get native timber it's all imported American hardwood since Coillte closed their mill
