-
I managed to get my hand on a elm log that had been cut down two years ago it was just over 6 foot long and 25" one end an 21" the other it was intresting getting it out the van and down to drive to the garage lol. I got 15" wide Hartwood boards out of it I cut a mantle beam at 6" and the the rest of it at just over 2". I still need to move the wood out the way and with stickers in. Iv now cut all the Logs i have so nows a good time to finish the mill off and get it sprayed. Thanks for reading.

I been using my homemade mill today got it working grate it's not finished yet but it's at the point I can use it. First log was oak just under 4 foot long* which made slabs of about 13" wide and two cherry logs about 12" and 14" wide slabs all cut to 2 1/4" at the min then they can be cut in half in the future once I know what im doing with them or left thick. Some lovely colour in the cherry and still have one more to mill bit longer one plus a big lump of lurburnum and a yew. Just need to get them stacked properly now with stickers. Thanks for looking. [

Thankyou for your reply iv contacted a few local tree surgeons and firewood processers/seller and a few have said they will keep me in mind so will just have to wait and see. Many thanks.

Anything local worth milling anyone?

Here someone else worth checking out on youtube making his own large bandsaw mill and also has a lot of good woodworking videos. [ame] [/ame]

I think you will be ok you know it will be slow and just let the saw cool down after every cut. Give it a try anyway and don't forget to upload some pics.

Hi I'm on the lookout for any cherry mainly or anything that's worthwhile milling. Iv nearly finished making my small bandsaw mill and Been trying it out but now after more wood. It's only for personal use making small projects etc and I want to get into making my own furniture/cabinets eventually. I often lookout on ebay, gumtree etc iv had a couple off there but there's not much alately, should I be looking anywhere else? I can process anything from 8" to 20" diameter and any length but not worth milling anything less 1 1/2 foot but not after massive lengths. I'm located in chesterfield and don't mind travelling all the surrounding areas if you could bare me in mind it would be much appreciated. Thankyou for reading, wayne.
