milling thread

Nice one.


I'm going to be trying out my 084. Picked up several more bars. No nice logs have crossed my path lately :-(
Found a bunch of spalted wood. Weather's been crazy.
 
Very nice. I need to make time to do some milling. Some of the logs I’ve cut into firewood bring a tear to my eye, not to mention the 90 just sitting there looking all hungry. :(
 
Preparing a shed build with true 4 by 4 and 4 by 8 headers milled from an ash I took down a month ago in my backyard. Might be a bit too nice for a shed but it is free lumber.

Dunno how familiar you are working with ash, but you might want to predrill your holes to prevent splitting. Might be too nice for a shed, but it beats turning it into firewood.
 
Nice!

Some more ash today. 28" wide by 9.5'.

I'm always trying, most Facebook buy and sell groups are closed down, and people are shaming businesses that are still operating, FFS. They even have snitch lines set up.
 
You aint kidding. One of our friends had nothing better to do than some spring cleaning and down sizing while her and her daughter are stuck at home. Listed her giveaway items for the taking, they would be placed out side. Address furnished if interested. Free.
They jumped all over her shat.
She even posted, "if you are already coming this way."
 
Nice log. I wish I could get more than 12 ft straight of hardwood in the NorthEast. Every Ash, White Oak and Maple log I milled so far did not stay straight for more than 12 ft. Anything longer had a twist.
 
This Woodmizer is at a kid's camp in Costa Rica. I whacked some cypress there last Jan for a building project.
The fellow that owns the mill removes the engine from it every night so that 2-legged vultures dont cart it off...
