It was for gate posts and a coffee table which is now cut in rough.
-
We trimmed the oak down to 42 inch wide.and vertical down 71/2 inches first and then milled them off at 8 inch.then parted them. Only for 8 by 8 gate posts.

Thanks rover that sort of fits the bill it's a fifty inch bar that would explain it.I will look at it next time,happen a new additional oiler.
-
No I have a granburge sharpener for the mill.

It's an oregan milling chain and these are beams wedged at the ends of each one as we where cutting them off .
-
This is the last few feet of a milling cut the first six ft is fine gradually getting to this any tips on improving the cut,apart from sharpening the chain which I think is one of the causes?
-
Kevin I milled it with saw on the out side of the tree with a 42 bar , milled up to the bend in the log and then pulled the tail end to the cut side then cut the bend.

I milled it a couple of months back and was told it is larch by the tree surgeon. It's milled at two inch thick and fourteen wide.milled with xp 3120 and 42 bar.

Was a bit unsure when the timber was quite light compared to the other tree.Cut the tree up two size, but the upper limbs all at about 2 foot dia,where rotten.Trimed the main butt to 42 inches across. So I am left with a 8ft by 31/2 butt.
-
It just seems light for a oak in weight.
-
I think a proper log store is the answer so air can freely flow around the logs.but will be interested what others say
-
Where it ends up :-(
-
Don't no what is happening yet Wether they are to be sold or used on the farm where they cut,in Telford.As the weight and length was under estimated by me I would think they are plus 400kg each.

This oak was milled more for my education than anything as I had not milled any oak before.and was lucky enough to to get to mill such a nice piece. It made six beams all 18 ft plus and several small ones. One thing I really did need a spare sharp new 5 foot chain it would of made the job so much easier.First time I had used the vertical mill and found that nice to use a part from the snowstorm of wood chip.

The is 8 inch by 8 inches by 20ft.

Try Rob at http://www.chainsawbar.co.uk he will sort it.

I would mill it into two and a half inch thick boards.This would give the person who works with it enough timber to produce a two inch finished board and if need legs at two inch plus finish. Paint ends off log before milling and seasoning.
-
I use a 3120 with 50 inch cannon bar,not had any problems with it. Milled some beech recently,the boards where smooth nice finish. But it is a tad on the slow side in the cut.
