Any plans for the slabs? They look nice!Just wanted to show off some of the white oak I've chainsaw milled over the last couple weekends. Really pleased with how it turned out!

I might sell the slabs from the 8 foot log. Had a guy offer me 1,000 bucks for them. $3.50bdft isn't too bad for green white oak I guess? I hate to get rid of them honestly but I need cash and have amassed about 2,000bdft+ of spalted maple, oak and pecan slabs/cookies this spring. I milled a 6.5 footer from the same tree today. If I sell the other I'll hang on to this and put it in the kiln I'm building this summer. Probably sell some kiln dried and make some tables, shelves, mantles etc too.Any plans for the slabs?

Man, those are beautiful!Just wanted to show off some of the white oak I've chainsaw milled over the last couple weekends. Really pleased with how it turned out!

$3.50/BF isn't is good for green lumber, I think. Refresh my memory, is that CSMed? If so, pretty smooth finish.I might sell the slabs from the 8 foot log.

Tailgate protector?Really nice! What’s in that first picture to the left? Looks like a grate built into a board.

Yep, just a tailgate. Odd orientation on the pic lol.Tailgate protector?
If it were dimensional 4/4 or 6/4 stuff under 12" wide yeah, it would be way overpriced. Seems to be about the going rate for green white oak slabs in my area around that size and quality, the few listings I can find anyway. I feel like these would easily pull $8-10 per bf once dried. So there's profit there even for just someone that wants to dry and resell in a couple years. Yes, chainsaw milled. Actually wasn't some of my best finishing, had dirty bark that was dulling my chains.$3.50/BF isn't is good for green lumber, I think. Refresh my memory, is that CSMed? If so, pretty smooth finish.
I must have missed it. How thick and wide are these boards you're letting go for $3.50/BF? Are you using a Pico setup like oh.. what's his name does?Yep, just a tailgate. Odd orientation on the pic lol.

Oh I thought I put in the OP lol, one log was 6' the other 8'. Slabs range from 20"-28" wide. Most are cut 10/4" but I cut a few 8/4 and one 12/4 out of the 6 footer. No Pico/LP chain. Regular old 3/8 .063 semi chisel full comp ripping chain. Archer brand at that! I milled the two closest ones.I must have missed it.

OK, for wide boards, that is cheap.Oh I thought I put in the OP lol, one log was 6' the other 8'. They range from 20"-28" wide.

Yeah, I think it's just hard to move thick green lumber period. Thinner stuff dries pretty fast so that's a little different.OK, for wide boards, that is cheap.
If he offered 3.50 counter offer with 5 to see if he comes up someI might sell the slabs from the 8 foot log.
