Chainsaw milling
The best thing that can happen to a good trunk is not the firewood pile.
A mature oak, elm, ash or sycamore that has to come down is worth far more as boards than as logs. We mill on site with a chainsaw mill, which means no haulage and no minimum size — a single trunk is a perfectly normal job.
Slabs come off green and need stacking, stickering and a year per inch of thickness to air dry. We will cut to the sizes you actually want and tell you how to store them so they do not twist.
Fair questions
- Is my tree worth milling?
- Straight, sound and over about 400mm diameter is a good start. Send a photo of the butt and we will tell you.
- How long until I can use it?
- Roughly a year per inch of thickness, air dried under cover. There is no shortcut worth taking.
- Can you mill a tree you did not fell?
- Yes, as long as we can get to it and it has not been lying wet on the ground for years.
