From tree to finished product
Between 2007 and 2009 I slabbed up many logs using a chainsaw mill - most of the milling photos from that time I posted on forum have been lost so I cannot point to the originals
So here they are again for a particular log.
The original log is from this pile of spotted gums in July 2008

By Dec 2008 the bark had turned red and was falling off and it was the ideal time to mille them.

The mill I used (and still have) is what I called the BIL mill because my Brother in Law helped me by doing the ally welding on the mill.
I had to use the 60" bar because the log was 2" wider than my 42" bar could cut.

Lots of nice slabs came out of the log and here is one I remember.
Its cracked on this side but the other side was almost clear.

Last weekend BIL and I searched my stash and dug out the slab on the right above and BIL and his son-in-law worked on it over the weekend and are turning it into an outdoor bench.
