A bit of ironbark lying around where the first victims.

Not the best logs, not very much good recovery from them...

But the logs where there and gave a bit of timber, so ya gotta slice 'em up right?

So we set about rectifying the quality of log issue...

and also grabbed a few round post billets to use as much as possible from the trees..

Fingers crossed, these should yield much more

More milling and less time on the 'putta' please ..Chop Chop..MM

Geez, anybody would think you were retired

Don't kill yourself with work though, everyone needs a break from time to time, just keep posting the pics though

It would seem as though DanG public holidays are all but forcing retirement

Got too much to do this month to sit around not cutting....
