Finally got back to some milling
Following on from Sigidi's post on "About time to see some milling on the small milling forum", and HybridFiat's post on "What kind of tree is this?" this is what myself and HybridFiat got up to today.
We took it real easy as it was my first time with the mill since june of this year so right now I'm pretty knackerd!
Wood is pretty hard and bloody heavy, it took 4 of us to carry the 50 mm thick slab. The fiddleback is faint but its definitely there.

Nice one Bob I hadn't seen your CS mill setup before, very tidy unit, I like the handle on the saw.

Went back today to finish up and dragged the rail mill out and milled a few 4x4 and a 4 x 12 for quarter sawn resawing.
I need to make up a longer rail as my current one is only 8ft long.

Yes we speculated as to what it might be - I was thinking it was a "Wood Gnomes Woody"?

I'm back from a brief break
Regarding E.Sideroxylon, or Mugga Ironbark as it is more commonly known.
Mugga has a distinctive black bark that is deeply fissured. It grows in mongrel country along the western slopes of NSW and other such country in the eastern states, Because the soil in which it grows is so poor, the tree does not seem to grow more than about 6metres in height.
The tree provides great honey form pink or white flowers, and the timber is excellent for electric fence posts. When dry it does not conduct electricity so no insulators are needed. The timber is red in colour.
One of my favourite trees. The blue/grey foliage against the jet blck trunk is an attractive sight.
The bark on this tree does not fit with Mugga.
