Thread: Milling some logs

Not really my patch Josh, but I think there are people with portable slabbing machines you could contract to do the work. Try a google search.

And no, it won't be dry yet, and yes, get it slabbed asap to minimise cracking. Allow a year per 25 mm of thickness to air dry.

Hi Josh

if you would like to PM me with the general area you are in, I would be happy to refer you to someone who may be able to advise you on the milling process

Here is a phone number of someone in my area who mills logs, it was in the local paper.


Phone Brett 03 9714 8859 or 0418 340 208

Or get in touch with GlennK on this BB

Cheers, Al

Seal the ends and mill them quick before they end split too much. Shiver me timbers are selling iron bark for $6000/m3 sounds far too much to me but it is nice wood. Where are you located?

well theyre actually at my parents place in Bendigo, VIC. Thanks for the advice guys. I dont want to spend too much money though, all i need is 2 cuts straight down the middle. anyone willing to help out can have as much of it as they want for themselves of course ill have to wait til i go back there later this week to check what size they really are, my memory may have exagerated their size.

cheers
josh

For portable millers check the website of the Australian Woodworker .... I think it is Skills publishing. This is just a guess as I am too lazy to do the serch myself. If the link doesn't work try a google search for Skills publishing. They were trying to get an Australian wide list of portable millers for this very situation.

There is a fella in Bendigo calls his company loggerheads. He is a good bloke has a band saw a Lewis saw give him a ring.
