Pics of your milled products

[Wood-be]

Just finished milling a walnut. Stem was 85 cm at the widest point. Beautiful wood

Those are pretty rotten. Your not going to get much out of that.

A question for you milling fanatics.

I dropped an oak in February and would like to mill it up and make a bench for the garden.

Does it make a difference to cracking etc if I mill it in the next month or 2 or should I wait till another time?

Thanks in advance.

I would do it now.

 

It is the later end of the season but if stacked out of the sun it should be fine. The worst you might get is a few surface checks which won't matter for outdoor furniture. Leave it longer and there is more risk of deeper shakes developing which are more likely to go where you don't want them.

Good advice.

Thank you.

I'll crack on with milling it then. (Excuse the pun😃)

A couple of benches I finished today to go with the table I posted a picture of a few weeks ago. Good to get a use out of the top and bottom slice

and sorry Rob D for not sorting any wood out, but this milling lark is addictive!

 

So back in 2009 I milled a yew i felled in a cambridge university. I made a rustic table for mums birthday present, she wrote an award winning poem about the yew covering a long forgotten clue to the uni's nazi connections, and the rest of the planks got stored, along with a walnut plank RobD milled out of a few of my walnut stems at a frjones show.

My old carpentry teacher recently took the wood to turn into this table, and 2 stools...
