Doh! Yeah sorry..got lazy while writing post.

 

I know it will mill! i am not planning to sell wood and its a nice piece so firewood would be a waste if its good for funiture making. Not planning to sell the millied timber ( will be cutting it on site ) just wondering if its any good for making tables etc. Is it good to for that?

 

cheers

mill it, stack, air dry it and it'll make some really sturdy furniture like kitchen "farm" tables etc. Twill be durable and weather resistant if used for outdoor use as well. Make good use of it!

 

I had planked a Lebanese Cedar years ago, promising to get a large kitchen table made from it (although Leb Ced is soft) the year it was ready and I had a big enough house, some kind person set fire to the lot!

Why they burn you timber! assholes

 

Its rare i come across good timber for milling..had took down a lovely ,large and straight cherry about year ago and didn't have alaskan mill then..wasn't happy cutting it into discs on site. This time i am going to make sure i got a mill.

 

First time doing this so will have to research more about drying timber etc.

 

cheers

That's the ideal situation for planking it on site with an Alaskan mill!! :001_huh:

 

Ash is a great timber although more for indoors rather than out. Even better if it has turned a lovely brown colour on the inside (called olive ash) if there has been the right sort of decay going on....
