I grew up on the "a black walnut tree can pay for your college" folk tales thanks to pops. He did some woodworking and turned me onto the hobby. No one in the family ever actually milled a tree though.
Fast forward 30 years and my first home purchase had a great looking walnut (English I believe based on the nuts) outside. I knew it was sick and would have to be taken down and that happened last year after enjoying it for about 7.
I knew I wanted to mill it so that was my push to get an Alaskan mill and a G660. I'm about 40% through it and getting to the trunk. I used this site for alot of the research and prep. Thought you guys might like some pics.
Feel free to comment, question, roast, or otherwise make a spectacle of my efforts. Any advice is always welcome.
