I bought some Hairy Oak through our market place a few weeks and got around to milling one of the two logs today. This was after the first cut:
481764
I then proceeded and cut five 4-5mm veneers off that face after cleaning up on the jointer that are going to be veneered on drawer fronts for a mid-century console that is my next project. Just beautiful stuff!
I also managed to salvage most of the rest of the log in craft sized pieces for pepper mills, pens, and a myriad other sizes. Better than 65% recovery so I am pretty happy with the result.
I have one more log left to do. I didn't want to rush it and botch it up.
