Why we have a minium order of £30-00+vat on the website...

Thanks Rob. Makes sense. -
Crikey! any idea what your going to do with slabs that size? Enormous

What's your first thought when you see this Blue Atlas Cedar?
AJStrees replied to Sam's topic in General chat
From past experience with blue cedar. Depending on how much growth is on the end of that branch could cause failure, but that close to the main stem, may not be an issue. Hard to tell from that photo. Have seen many lateral branches fail with too much weight on them with cedars. Though use of cobra or cable has certainly seemed to lessen that problem. But others might have more experience on the subject. That’s my two pennies worth. -
Grows as a tree. Great as a hedge too. Will grow pretty big over time but does well with good reduction. Shoots back pretty quick.
-
No, only started tonight. With some fair gusts. Don't know what all the fuss is about..... Watched the Michael fisher weather report again tonight, just in case.
-
Did a few boards today.
-
Magnolia Grandiflora is pretty good as trees/large shrubs and gets going pretty quick once it's settled in. Griselinia is good too.
-
Nice looking long bow. Poor bunnies. Lol!
-
Fair enough...
-
Yeah the one good thing is the use of a rail system which does take a lot of effort out of the milling. But its a little quirky.
-
Sounds like fun....... Lots of sawdust I imagine but no fumes.
-
Why couldn't it work with the two chinese saw heads?
-
Ouch! ☹️
-
Yes that's right. The bars it comes with are 1.5 metres long, I got some steel 3 metres long to do longer but not so heavy logs. Its okay. But I would much prefer a logosol F2. If you have time and a good spot to sit it, then it works alright. It is a little bit toy really, I have tried to get to like it, but for heavy timber its really not what you need.
-
Was thinking that. Who uses long bows these days?
-
Did a quick number on some small yew as a trial.
-
What’s the mill? Norwood or something? [emoji106] Be good to see what you do with the timber once done.
-
Finished off the Sorbus.
-
Bit of milling from the last few days. Bit of 1 metre by 6’ spalted beech and old Sorbus with some nice colours.
-
Could you help identify this tree?
AJStrees replied to Edksakd's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Pretty much. -
Mallof was an 090 man, how does that compare to the 881? Genuine question. [emoji106] I certainly wouldn’t mind a 661 or an 881. It’s a shame husky haven’t come up with anything bigger in their stock. I suppose it’s on the cards and part of a different thread on here. It’s about £1700 for a panther mill with the 881 from what I’ve figured. Potentially more. It’s something to work towards. But the overriding point here is that milling is a brilliant way of using timber for something other than fire wood. [emoji106]
-
Yes true. I’ve looked about for big old saws too but not come across anything really at a reasonable price. I think if you can respect your tools, keep them in good health, they will last.
-
It’s 3/8 lo pro. With the stihl ripping chain, really smooth cut. [emoji106]
-
Nice set up. I’m up to 48” single powerhead with eco mill. So far, so good. Endless fun, milling. With full time estate to manage I don’t get a lot of time to do it, but I have an endless timber resource. Can’t complain really. Restoring a very dilapidated barn at the mo. No funds to do it, but getting a roof back on so I can get the milled boards in there for drying.
-
Yeah I ran them in for the first 10 tanks. Doesn’t take long with milling. What set up are you using with the saws?
