My first attempt

Had my first go at milling this weekend home made mill needs a few alterations as the boards were pretty rough, but it didn't fall apart and nobody was hurt so that's a step in the right direction lol hopefully a couple of pics will follow?

Another?

[antarty86]

Oh well? I got one on but now I'm not sure how?!? Lol I'll try again later

[se7enthdevil]

what species is that???

[antarty86]

It's an old oak that's been dead for years (I wet the board before the pic) it's like cutting iron! Most of the tree was rotten but I managed a 7 1/2ft log from the bottom.

I'm no expert, but boards look very interesting, cool.

Had another play at the weekend, a ripping chain made a big difference and I bought a cheap version Alaskan off eBay.
