In this video I show the process of milling an enormous beech tree into slabs. The tree is a huge 71.5cm in diameter. Each slab is 195cm long and I milled them to 5cm thick. Even though each slab is relatively thin, they were extremely difficult to move due to how heavy they are. These slabs will take at least a year to fully dry if not longer but when they are, I'll be able to make loads of amazing projects from them.
I used my Stihl MS661 with a 28 inch bar to cut up the tree then I used my 42 inch Panther Mill to cut the slabs.
The ends of each slab are sealed with 2 coats of Chestnut Products End Seal to help stop splits. It was my first time using it and it seems to have done a great job but only time will tell.
