Thread: Cutting up Silky Oak

Rod an easier way to add 'pressure' to your stack is those ratchet straps you can get from the $2 shops.

Oh and just for the record, it's not a half back (don't see many footy players out on mills these days ) its a flitch.

It can be what ever it want to be, in order to better describe the actual parts in question. At no time did I define the term or say theses are called Half back and thou shalt not be called by any other name . maybe I made it up, but it sure does easily describe the culprit.

I could have written "in oder to secure your flitch place a flitch on top" who does that help ....

As defined by the dictionary a "Flitch" is (1) any longitudinal cut from a trunk (2) several planks secured together, (3) a large sawn piece of timber to be later broken down or resawn into boards or veneers (4) a side of unsliced bacon ....???

now which more accurately describes the the wasted bits of half sawn log that remain after milling
