I have a customer needing a big ugly walnut crotch slabbed. Anyone near southern Indiana have a swing mill with a slabber interested in this? He also visits his sister in Chicago once in a while, so that area is do-able for him as well.
If the log is at least 6' long a circular mill would be a good choice
Welcome to the Forestry Forum jimparamedic .
Generally a circle mill will only clear about 20" of wood. A slabber on a swing mill can do 5 foot wide.
5'...unless it is modified ;D
I too have been looking for someone in South to Southeastern Indiana. We attempt to cut large walnuts on WM mills, we can get them to work, but I nearly loose my religion doing it.
Don't I wish.
Maybe try Kent McPherson near Nashville.
