    Default milled mountain ash and something very dense and heavy and hard

    gday used my M8Auto Turbosawmill up at the Seymour Alternative Farm Expo over the weekend.
    this is the result from 5 logs around the 350/450mm dia and 4 1/2m length.

    Looks good, what are you going to make with it once dry?

    The ash will be turned into the chairs I make, the other turned out to be grey box (thought it was iron bark)and will be decking for my new deck

    I'd be straightening those stickers up and bring them closer to the ends otherwise you will have a lot of wave and twist to deal with later.

    And, even though it has been some years since I stripped out boards, the dunnage (The across support members) should be inline vertically and of equal number with the strips and the same goes for any other unit that goes on top of the bottom unit. This will help reduce distortion during drying.
