    Hi all I’ve been running Rayco for years and can’t fault them but access is a issue sometimes. Looking at the predator as a option but have here’d not great things, build quality etc. Any suggestions on other makes that you would reccamend.

    Im just about to cut the best stand of ash I've seen in a long time, real big and straight, clean butts. Anyone interested or know anyone who buys in Ash.

    Free hand is a option as always, lot of work. Bigger mill is what I’m thinking. It was sold as a 90x90 log size. Always read small print

    Hi Steve I felled all my oaks over the last few years and milled them then got the jointed, milling took 6 weeks and jointing 10 weeks,big old frame. Im fairly new to milling but you learn fast,any questions just ask but the lads on here really know there stuff so you won't go far wrong if you have any questions. look out for frame erection if I can upload it from you tube

    Hi Steve Ive just finished my oak frame for my new house. Box heart as much as you can,but need the right diameter logs or you get a lot of board off it , if the quality is good enough,avoid to much heart on face if you can but harder to mill without to much waste. all mine posts are 8x8 sills 8x6 with some large 14x10 tie beams, keep knots to less than 30% on any face,no dead knots either,live ok. If you are starting out maybe get your eye in on less important pieces first. watch out for spiral grain. If you are ever in surrey drop in to have look, I could post some pictures or video if I new how on this. good luck

    I've got a fairly big sequoia coming up in January but I'm in surrey so fair way to haul it, good artic load.

    Log trailer on the tractor with a grab so will be easy to collect. I can only take timber that is 2m or bigger other wise it won't go on the mill or the trailer that easy, does that leave to much there
