Any millers intrested

[Rkd]

I have a small section around 1.5-2m longer of oak well I think it's oak!!

 

Prob around 2ft in diameter I wondered if there were any local millers in Shropshire who would like to mill n half the boards with me before I Finnish it up for fire wood!!

 

Apologise for tge crap pics I will clear it before it's worked on !!!

 

Ps I'll post some more of the firewood I made earlier!!

Terrible pic the first time so the log is 1700mm long with a diameter of 700

 

Let me knw if any 1s interested!!

Looking at the bark fissures, just a hint of yellow on inner edge suggests Ash to me as does the growth rings being to open for Oak.

Thanks I logged the rest of the tree and know it was damn hard!!!

 

Is ash good for milling?

Yes it can be. Looks like maybe spalted possibly, but general term I believe is "flamed" ash and noted by the pattern internally found when milled

Thanks if I can find any 1 to mill I'll let you know failing that I may go buy myself a saw and Alaskan!!!!

I would say it looks like ash, looks a bit far gone, log it up for firewood

It has been sitting for around 2 years!!
