Well since I learned all I know about milling from this site, figured I better post a pic of the slab milled up last September.
We milled up a 38"-30" standing dead Red Oak, The owner got 4 nice slabs and two crown cuts (he used the crown cuts to make some awesome benches)
They were 3.125 inch thick and 18 feet long, we had to cut them 9 feet to lift them!
My mill would only go a bit over 28 inchs so we free handed quite a bit off the sides.
He is making a bar for his basement, and insisted I take a slab home. My slab has been leaning against the wall since.
So new years morning I went out and cleaned up a little, mounted my brackets and proceeded to belt sand all the "washboard" out of it.
Wow, the spalting and figure is amazing, I am off to find some Danish oil to make it really pop.
Will post a few pics of it after oiling, heck it looks preety good in the buff.
