Milling Picture Thread

Did these on an asphalt parking lot. My knees are on ice right now.

Big end 48” wide
Small end 39” wide

7’ long

Brought home 7 pc’s. Customer took one and we called it even. He said it is Burr Oak. I dont know bout that. Definitely looks like a type of white oak anyway. Decaying in it in places.

is your aux oiler injected into the bar or do you just let it puddle on the bar?

I. Planned on drilling the bar but wanted to run a drip first to see how I like it.

So its dripps on the bar just off the chain. It works really good.

I noticed a difference in how hot the chain gets.

I’ll probably leave it as a drip. Works well. The 3120 has a really great oiler. Loads of it make past the nose. But the aux really did cool the chain down. It stays “wet” looking vs when it is hot and the saw dust is cooked onto it.

This bar tho…..amazing. WELL worth the price.

48’ diameter red oak tomorrow. 10’-11’ long. Wish me luck!! Moving these slabs is going to be a trick and a half without a tractor

Better eat your Wheaties if you're milling by yourself. Heck, that's a load for two guys lol

It was only 44” on the big end. Not 48” Tape measure are hard for people to use im learning.

Its was not that bad. Back the trailer up to it. Yes, I mill by myself only. I do have a winch now if I need it, but this one was not to bad loading.

Yes there was metal in this one. I decide to mill it anyway. One nail found and 2 bolts.

Bad day for the saw tho. I think i cracked the muffler. Had to stop. Ill go back to get the rest of the log. Got just past 1/2 way. 6 slabs so far at 2.25” . Checking out the saw today.

That's a beauty!

White Oak today. Cut at 18’ long. Can’t remember the diameter. Maybe 36” on the big end. Was a woods oak. Had beautiful grain. Only on spot with metal that had dissolved so no chain damage. Figured it was from a tree stand.

Slab in the picture is 4” thick. Did one of those and a few at 6”. Customer said he could pick them up with his lil tractor. He could the 4”er but not the 6”ers. They are currently laying on the ground on 4x4’s next to the log as he wished.
