    Default Looks like im addicted!

    I have today off from work and after my little bandsaw milling session yesterday I couldn't wait to get into it again today! So far I have just cut up one small log about 800mm x 450mm long. I'm not sure what it is? They were cutting down a bunch of tree at my work to replace with plastic plants... so sad but on the up side I got to collect some nice pieces to take home. I will get some bigger strips of timber to put between them while they dry. I struggled with the weight of the log and in turn didn't get equal cuts. I'm sure I could have taken a bit more time to get it right but I'm still just having a bit of fun while I learn.

    I just did some research and found out it is Agonis Flexuosa.

    Commonly known here in the South West where it is native as Peppermint or willow myrtle,much lighter in colour than the ones i`ve milled ,but that could be the soil maybe.
