Milling 'Hall of Shame'

Post a photo of the nasty things that you find hiding in timber!

 

Today's effort, a GPO/ British Telecom special. I missed it by about 3mm, and only spotted the strands of wire when I'd turned the log and brushed some dust off . The poor old chainsaw rattled on the bracket a few times :(

Ooooh, ya beauty!

 

Usually you like to think that softwood cutting is going to be free of heavy metal.

 

I don't have a photo of it in the log, but I did have a ripple sycamore log two years ago that was riddled with metal around the middle. More than a dozen nails, 24 inches of chain link chain and worst of all several Victorian wrought iron climbing spikes (the heaviest of which weighed over 10 ounces). Expensive log!

Probably my best historic haul. 9 inch pins set up at about 25ft up.

Jake, one of my customers brought an old beam in for re-cutting. I found 2 .303 bullets in it, and he's now found another bullet in an adjacent beam. Someone has fired 3 shots in a tight group inside a small room, it's a strange one!
