An idea I've had for a while is a milling directory on Arbtalk. That way we could pass logs,slabs and work to each other. [emoji848][emoji106]

Bit too far mate [emoji106]

Have you seen French hyper/super markets? The French are years ahead with that stuff. Hardwood forests are growing considerably faster than being cut down. In the uk if you want a 50' x18"x18" you buy it from France. They have the timber.

I was cutting on the border of Loire Atlantique and ille et villain. Oak and Scots pine over storey with sweet chestnut and hazel under. I've never seen such quantities of high grade trunks. [emoji106]

The left log is the one I already milled. The big crotch is on the far right. [emoji106]

That's just a little bit. The main crotch is much bigger. Probably mill at 2.5" [emoji106]

How thick you need it?
-
I haven't measured it, but it's very approximately 5' x 4'. But there's a rot pocket and the whole thing is a weird shape. Might only get two or three boards. [emoji106]

I've got one centre slab, but I'm trying to hold onto it. However, I have the main crotch from the same tree, and it's quite large. Got a few smaller bits for coffee tables. You thinking skittles Steve?

This is made from the Elm. Made by local furniture maker. Colours come up real well. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Stihl 090 or other big saw for milling
Rough Hewn replied to HighlandSawyer's topic in Milling Forum
Because the chain cools and contracts after milling. I've seen a bent crankshaft from over tension then no de tension. If your lucky it'll just stretch the chain, leading to chain snapping. Check your links for lateral play. [emoji106] -

To avoid tensioning problems on a duromatic bar. Set the saw up, run on medium and high revs for 1 minute. Re-tension and away you go. Remember to un-tension after milling. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] -
[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Oh scotsy, Have you ever read any history of the French empire? Lots of genocide across the globe. [emoji849][emoji848]

My parents bought a derelict barn in the early 80's. My parents and 3 kids (5-8) Lived in a small 2 bed static for 2 years whilst the barn was renovated. It was a bit grim in winter, but when the barn was finished and we moved in, It was like living in a castle in comparison. It's a long journey but worth it. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
