Giant Plank!

This pine tree was cut down a little over a year ago. Doug had to strim it out of a ginormas mound of brambles and bracken plus another tree that fell on it in high wind and some other small ones that were cut to clear way for the pine coming down. Lots of work!

But now it is free he has started milling it in to planks with the Alaskan mill. These are LONG planks.

This is just half of one of them (easier to carry if cut down first!)

This is another thicker plank that has been cut in to useful lengths for drying. It is really really heavy at the moment despite the tree having sat for a year.

Stacked to dry. We are not sure how long it will take

Many more trees waiting for this treatment once this one is finished!
