I got the 084 back, so I decided to attack a little more Ash. I have two logs partially done in the back yard that I wanted to finish. They are now light enough to block-up and get a little help from gravity.
The first board off the larger log is really nice. 24" wide and very clear. Next to this board you can see the start of my stickered pile with 10 boards in it already,
Four more boards pretty much finished off the two logs I have been working on. The longer ones are 8 ' and the other two are 7.5'
I have two more logs staged up but both of them have some issues. The larger of the two has two huge branches that I have cut off. It may generate some spectacular grain patterns. The other one is only about 12" in diameter. If I get enough wood from the balance of the logs, I may leave it for fire wood.
I cut another dead ash down in my neighbors yard and saved the bottom 8' of it for milling. It looks very clean, so that was my next set-up.
This log is sitting 200 feet from the other tree, so I do not have to carry the 084 very far. I will continue the pics in the next thread.
