Dave has just fliched up around 5 3inch slabs & 4 2.5 inch slabs out of 1 short log (approx $1000 worth)(for about $250 of time)up in a Halswell property
opening up a fallen over oak tree provides happiness to owners of this once lovely standing oak ,they will let dry & get some tables & benchseats made from this
these are alaskian milled & stepped at 1 end to allow it to be easy to saddle the horses with stabilty in mind .They are 3.2mtrs in length vary with the bottom base up to 800mm allowing 5 to 600mm of stepping surface on top .
