Hi my name is Mark I live in county Durham I am a x tree surgeon turned gardener . Bought a Alaskan mill and 084 form ebay I have found this forum really useful solved a lot of problems never done any milling before. First chance for me to use it this Sunday I have a 3meter by 1meter oak trunk to mill I can not wait

Thats a cracking log to start with. Maybe you should have a practice on a pine or something not so valuable to start with. For a 1m dia log as well I would also use an auxillary oiler as well, avaiable from Rob D on this site

When I bought it it came with a 60in cannon super bar and 40in woodland pro also a auxiliary oiler I have had the chains sharpen I was wanting a new chain for them both but my local shop can't get it any ideas on where to find them ?

As said before, get in touch with Rob D, he's the man on alaskans and also sells chain.

Did you remember to seal the ends of the planks? Hard to tell from the photos if you have.
