Milled up some short logs today using my small mill. We thought it was going to be regular Western Australian Sheoak (casurina fraseriana) but it turned out to be be its paler cousin Swamp Sheoak (casurina obesa).
Still a pretty grain and apparently obesa is a bit easier to work than the fraseriana.
Little mill worked great especially considering the powerhead is just a Homelite340 with 20" 0.050 bar and 3/8 low profile chain - if fair shredded its way through those small logs and left a very smooth finish.
New drip oiler worked well but needs a more flexible shorter hose.
