We use ceder for feather edge, few artic loads every 6 months it does have knots but for feather edge not a problem, also we use nice butts for shingles but again as they can be knotty it's o ly for the odd job

We cut a makuba I think it was yellow timber and were changeling the saw blade every 3m!!! Found out a local musical instrument maker cuts it with metal bandsaw blades! Might be worth talking to instrument makers maybe?

We don't use stihl oil. We're sawing up slabs etc all day and use cooking oil, £20 for 5l massive tub, only draw back is you crave chips all day

Thanks! I'd probably plank it into 38 and 52 mm for furniture later on unless I had someone who was interested in which case I would find what there more likey to want. Either way you've got a lot of options on here to choose from. Plus it all depends on what the timber looks like as you open it up. If it's beautiful then thin boards and if it's not, then bigger stuff maybe more skittles!

No sawmills near you?
-
Agreed also but if you have no chainsaw mill you can skim a bit turn skim a bit etc till you can take some big chunks out. We use quite a few big trees for orders where we have a lot of beams one size but needs and demand determi w how you mill your timber. And what orders etc

People are amazed at the size of some of the trees we get through but having one pillar means you can squeeze them in there

Nice work
