They are some big ass logs.
You must have some overheads in your game.

Will

Got it in one!
They were very concened about the shed nearby and decided to cut it down branch by branch.
Still managed to drop a few on the shed though.

Hi all. This is the eucalypt(s) we have ready to mill after the big storm in Brisbane.

Hi, just wondering how thin you can take a board on the Dewalt?

Cheers, Will

Very Cool!

If Big O is still out there could you please upload some more pic's.

Cheers.

Hi, I see you are in Melbourne. I sourced it from near you.
I will email the details as I don't want the supplier to get too many inquiries. He sold it to me as a favour as his real job is...

G'day, they are as follows:
L: 695mm
W: 95mm

G'day David,
I too want to make guitars and sell them. I know there is no way we can compete (in the short term) with the cheap imports or even Maton & Cole Clark for that matter.
What you/we need...

Thanks,

Allan called me to tell me the same.
I painted it all on Thursday arvo.

Can't wait for it to dry out now.

Will

Now that the stump is off and in the shed to dry out I am going to hit it with the electric planer to tidy up the sides and remove the remaining bark etc.
Then it will be the Drop saw to each end...

I finished off the chainsawing today.
I am reasonably pleased with the results.
The timber looks nice too.

Will

Cheers,
I'll print a copy of 1/4 sawn diagrams off the net and cut my log accordingly.

Will

I have some silky oak, silver ash, Satin box, and heaps of spotted gum.

I finally got around to doing something with the stump.
I took to it with my trusty little chainsaw. I found a Band saw in the in'laws shed still in its box and also purchased a Wagner...

Opal could be expensive but most the cost will be in the labour.
Opal is also porous and I don't know how it would react to the timber finishes.

Would look great though.

Hi all,

I am after billets for electric guitar construction.
They can be in the form of a board for me to cut to size or pre cut, I am happy with either.

I am really after Bunya Pine but...

I have located some satin box and have taken delivery of 4 nice blanks for electric guitar neck construction.

If anyone is interested in some I may be up for selling some.

Cheers, Will

Hey Sigidi, what are the species in pic 603-605?

They are nice and light in colour.

Will

Thanks, nice video clip.

Will.

Thanks guys,

There are a few more lengths about 2m long ea.

I have no real plans for the timber. I would much rather see it get used to some capacity rather than being burnt or rot away.

Well Allen came out and milled up the logs for me over the weekend.
I must say, Allen is very professional and is the bees knees when it comes to milling.

Thanks for all the help Allen and it's...

I think I may have found a supplier but am waiting for him to get back to me with the prices.

Will

Cheers,

Hi all, I have a spotted gum which I had felled about 7 months ago and would like to get it slabbed up if it is worthy of doing so.

I'll try to upload a pic(s) asap.

The tree is now in 2 logs...
