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.
