Marcia Marcia Marcia! She huffed and puffed and pushed over a whole bunch of trees at my grandparents farm. This is going to be a bit of a three pronged post so we'll see how we go.
1. Anyone on here (or know anyone) who would be interested in a fair bit of work milling approx a dozen (probably more) logs. There's some spotted gum, gum top box, blue gum, blood wood, iron bark. Each of them will be mainly milled into structural lumber (except blood wood and blue gum) however I'm going to grab a few slabs of each and also other cuts to use with furniture and what not.
2. In all of your experiences, could we move the logs into say a 3 or 4 piles and whoever it may be could move from each pile over each day? Or would it be better if they can all be in one spot?
3. There's also a number of large large tea trees, we've asked a local timber mill before and they weren't interested because they said it blunts their saw blade too quickly, has anyone milled them before? How bad is it? Is it a matter of paying a bit extra?
4. (maybe there's a 4th prong) I'm very new to woodworking, any recommendations or tips for uses for the above timber in furniture? Any make particularly good side tables or coffee tables etc? I imagined making a floating bed out of the blue gum but simply cladding a pine frame with the blue gum rather.
Anyway, I've asked a hell of a lot in there, but any feedback would be welcome. It'll be a little while till we've prepped all the logs yet, but we really want to get the ball rolling so this isn't something that keeps getting put off and then it's 2020.
Cheers guys, some photos attached (spotted gum, blue gum, gum top box)
