First cuts with CS mill

[gchamber]

So I had two giant white oak trees taken down on my property, bases 40-48" diameter. Company wanted too much to haul it off, so I decided to mill it. Built a saw and a mill and went to town. One of the trees was rather dead, and had some really amazing spalting in the sap wood. After drying for a while, I pulled the bark off and boy was I surprised! Check it out and let me know what you think!

Your white is actually a red. Looks good!

Little buggers are heavy aren't they?

Nice looking slabs.
