Did some milling this week

I've been working for a local estate, felling dead Elms and tidying up some windblown Oaks so we decided to have it milled. It produced some stunning timber when milled which the estate will use in their house building and estate maintenance. A huge thanks to Big J and his brother for milling for us, top job guys

If you are looking for a mobile mill I can certainly recommend Big J.

Elm has to be one of my favourite timbers - what a shame there ain't none left down this way.

Looks like a good pile from that job.

Yes Rob, we cut over 260 boards of various sizes this week. Pic 5 shows 4 quarters of the same log which we had to cut down to fit through the mill.

Thats some lovely timber there,fantastic figure to it.

Cracking job guys

That must be very satisfying work...and a great advertisment for the skills of Big J. Great stuff Bob!

Very satisfying, it was the first time I had been involved with milling and it was great to see the different timber coming off the mill.

Thanks for posting the pictures Robin - lovely to see and thanks for all your help over the course of the week. Would have been a much tougher job if not for the extra pairs of hands, the work with the telehandler and the banter!

good pics,,must get me a telehandler,,,
