so i arived to my log (the one to big to lift into the ute)
aprox 35" at the but.

half way threw the small length

7 slabs in total 23" at the widest

some grain close ups

what only 3.30pm time for some of the but log.

Correct, I'm a member of another forum and can see them. Carl, you can't do what you did, you have to link to fully open sites or upload them again to this one (That's what I do)

INformation

Nice pics - you're milling with the 034?

Grain looks nice - can you provide any info on this type of wood - heavy, light, aromatic, uses?

 

[weisyboy]

yep i mill with the 034AV best saw ever.

cadagi is an ausie hardwood comes from norther qld and was braought down origionaly as a tree for bees because it produces plenty. however they didnt know that teh bees love the sap and it clogs there hives. it was widely planted as a garden tree as it grows quickly.

it is full of watter. when we felled this one the watter woud litteraly poor out the end. uses a loy of watter they reckon ore that 300l/day.

it is fairly hard but nothing like red ironbark.

heavy as lead. a 2" thick slab 7' x 2' weighs aproximately 35kg (77 ponds) green.

it is verry stable. you can make sompthing out of it green and it will still be good once dried. providing its not to intrecut. it is not widely used for anything as it is not consiers useable and has short bendy logs.
beautifull timber as you can see from the pics but has lots of sapwood, teh logs up to 10" are all sapwood.

Carl,

What chain do you use milling?

Those sure are some pretty slabs. Nice job!

 

[weisyboy]

i run a 25" bar with skip tooth chain. i have one sharpend to the standad 30* and a home made skip chain sharpend to 15* witch one i use depends on the timber.
