My first experience with milling was with a big piece of walnut. I have a friend who is an arborist and he sometimes gives me the wood from removals in return for my help. This day was a big 'ol walnut (and a few smaller trees). Having just acquired my 394(few years ago), I asked if I could chunk out the base into slabs for future lumber. He agree'd and these 2 are my first go round freehand.
And the rest was fire wood.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Nearly broke our 3 backs loading them into the trailer! They sat @ my house for a while, until I saw an old neighbor friend post pics of a new Wood-Miser he just bought. He said bring 'em over. Endedup being the first wood he cut with it. He refused payment, of which I later paid with a case of his favorite brew.![beer-toast1 :beer-toast1: :beer-toast1:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
