My buddy called yesterday telling me that he had my flooring all milled up, he droped it off yesterday. I must say I'm real happy with how this turned out and I cant wait to see how it looks on the floor once I get it finished (and the house up)
He figured theres about 2000 feet here sawed 1" thick, several nice pieces 12-16" wide and clear # Not bad for a tree that blew over and was going to be left to rot.
He still hasnt got the 2 butt logs cut up yet, I need to go over and rip them for him so they'll fit on the mill
When I started on this I never figured that I'd be getting this much lumber out of this tree, I was just looking for an excuse to cut some wood back in febuary, 3 months and a MS880 added to the line up and here it is.
I think I'm going to have part of the but log milled into 2X10 for stair treads and also a 10X10" post for a center support post in my living room, The rest will get turned into 1Xs for flooring so I'll have a little extra to select the best from for the house. All in all I think it was well worth the time and money invested
