Thread: Paperbark from newby

I milled a small amount from a large stump (600mm) that was in my yard, I made a mallet out of some of it, it had a nice grain and was good to work. What size trees have you got, alive or dead and are you looking at cutting slabs or boards?

Cheers,
Mike

Here is the thread showing the mallet if you want to see what the timber looked like.

thanks burnsy
its about 900mm dia by about 4metrs long fell over because of rotted out stump. Just wanted to know if its worth milling some people i have talked to say paper bark is a beautiful timber, some say dont bother. As it is just up the road from me i think i should get it and have a go at slabbing it thanks

Hey Macca if you have a set-up to mill it, why not go for it? if it's cruddy, it'll save you time down the track, if its good you've scored, if it's great well thats even better.

Give it a go...
