    Burr oak

    I know the most popular size I use would be 1 inch 2 inch for tops and the like what I don't know much about is milling from what I read burr timbers are hard to dry (warping splitting and the like) and I still have half that log left so that's what I was worried about really. Thanks for the price range as I said I haven't come across burr oak for sale around

    Burr oak

    How much is a lot of money and what thickness is most popular for burr oak. I'm a cabinet maker myself and never come across timber like this I bought the woodmizer and built a solar kiln (which I now regret since I seen big js kiln) because I cannot get native timber it's all imported American hardwood since Coillte closed their mill

    Managed to cut some of this log yesterday ended up splitting it in half and milling it on the Woodmizer pretty happy with the result.
