Personally I'd go 2x 2.4 and slab it. Most people don't know what quarter sawn means, let alone want to buy it. Shame as its the best. [emoji106]

Great journey Steve, thanks for sharing. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I think you're little red one is a corker [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Hmmm that has been suggested... The only issue I have is the nails. I cut through them with the chainsaw mills, but a band would blunt or snap. And I cut a lot of nails[emoji51] One day though.... [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Tree work is sparse here too, only the milling,boards and miscellaneous wood keeping us afloat. (Just) [emoji51][emoji106]

Nice bit of burr there mate [emoji106]

It's even possible it's in the stump.[emoji848] But in my experience, it's about the 3rd-4th board in, and a 4" nail. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji106]

Yep that's terrible.[emoji51] Damn shame as that log looked real tidy. [emoji106]

Bit wet today, so went to see a certain Arbtalk forester... Brought a couple of little pippy oaks back. [emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Couldn't say. But definitely a lump iron. [emoji51]

Nice little cherry too [emoji106]

More test cutting with the 60" panther on the elm. Bit more of the beech cut too, on the logosol f2+ [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Heavy, heavy reading. Not for the faint hearted.

Well researched Rob, Had a feeling there'd be a reason no one sells them. [emoji106]

Stihl msa200 with the 300 batteries. Great bit of kit, the only issue is I hate sharpening the tiny little chains.

You shipped sweet chestnut to Brittany? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Smart. [emoji106]

Teak oil can react with the tannins (I'm told). Best oil is tung oil. Also sold by rye oils. [emoji106]

My brother owns an old tug boat built in Texas for the d-day landings. I'll try and find a photo. [emoji106] With our younger generations forgetting/not being educated about the hardships and horror of ww2. It's easy to see it as "past history" and has nothing to do with them. [emoji51]

Bill Oddie went downhill after the goodies. ☹️

Reckon you'd get at least 3 from this. About 90cm by 30cm by 30mm. [emoji106]

George, It's elm, it doesn't like to split easily, your pith is far off centre and your logs are tiny. They are too small to mill. It's firewood sadly, unless you want to manually push each log through a woodworkers band saw. I do not recommend this though. (Fingers...) If you want an Elm chopping board, come to my yard in Huddersfield and you can have a free offcut. [emoji106]
