Andrew, thanks for the above info. those prices in my mind seems very good for the quality of the planks. as per your view with regards firewood costs, i hope not as i have an even larger one to deal with, and this will have to be CM`d due to its woodland location where extraction is not an option! http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/milling-forum/60776-4-6ft-burr-oak-another-project.html

those planks look gorgeous! a quick question, will that sapwood not rot / fall off when dry, or will it stay attached for ever more??

if you mean power poles, or telegraph poles, most people I know who have built barns or sheds use them at there native sizes. but that will depend of course on the size your building. as for milling, never tried them, but the few I have cut even with a new chain as a normal log, they are quite hard. not sure of what timber species these creosoted poles are but they will be hard going milling. on that note, if they are treated the dust produced may be highly toxic. simon

I am always seeing this as a recommendation (milling months) and I can see the virtues in this with regarding timber movement, and other defects that come up for discussion quite frequently. especially this year with one of our better summers. But, what I cant grasp is that if all sawyers and mills worked to this mantra, then surely they would only work for two months a year, and I am pretty sure Mr Copford and son, don't only work for two months a year! is this something specific for Scotland only? just askin

walnut tree is about to be felled! What to do with it?
Big Beech replied to abergavenny walnut's topic in Milling Forum
I vote to leave it be, unless serious root issues with the house? -
yes, you should always root prune. or leave if damaged. why? because it encourages new and stronger root systems. with regards to any additional mycroryzal additives, your pretty much wasting your time if the tree is coming from a woodland environment as it will have the needed fungi attached with the tree and leaf mould its been grown in.

exactly hat, certainly wasn't trying to kick up a storm. I know from posting my own photographs, it takes time that some one has to pay for
