    Finished this one a few weeks ago but haven't got round to taking any pics til now - this was made from pieces of oak left over from my mates swing mill; took a bit of working out for jointing the corners, which are pegged with yew for the colour contrast. This one's up for sale now for £600. It's free-standing or can be leant against the wall.

    Our latest creation at Twisted Oak - our company name was really appropriate for this job! Finding enough bone oak and getting all the pieces to fit right with each other took some doing - proper krypton factor! Next bit of fun will be hanging them but looking forward to seeing them in place at their new home.

    Hi , I am sure that you can set the depth of cut on the vertical mill so , I would do my first cut remove the ladder set depth on vertical , set width one cut set width and so on across the log , then set height on alaskan and away to go , 4/5 beams , the width setting every time is a bit of a faf but hey , chainsaw milling there is quite a bit of faf , good luck post some pics Cheers Mark

    Hi Arcto,what you are saying about yew being imported for long bows is not correct as we have a nice yew forrest by us that was planted for yew for long bows , it is no longer looked after like it was back then but still interesting I wonder how many more there might be dotted around , would love to have a go at making one , Cheers Mark
