Milling Services

There are many reason for felling trees; disease, storm damage, over-grown or in the way of a proposed building project.
 
All of these are valid reasons but what to do with the felled tree;
 
Rather than having the trees cut up for firewood or sent for biomass fuel why not have them milled into planks,

dried and made into furniture.

No one knows the beauty of what lies within, that's where we come in; our on-site milling service gives you

the opportunity to turn what would once have become firewood into usable timber planks.

Window of opportunity:

October - March is the best time of year to have that damaged tree felled, then we can mill it to your requirements
ready to take advantage of the first drying season.

Flexible approach to tree milling:

Control over plank dimensions:
If you have a specific project in mind for the timber once milled or a cutting list, we will be happy to work to it.

Images below are of a huge 400yr Oak that died in 2021 and had to be left for a year before being

felled to make sure it wouldn't recover.

It was destined to be chipped for biomass, that was until I was asked if it were possible to

mill into useable timber.

The main trunk of the tree was 1.6m in diameter x 4m long making it to large to fit straight on to the

bandsaw mill, first it needed to be broken down into manageable sections using the chainsaw mill.

The branch sections were a little smaller at 1m x 5m they also required a little tweaking before loading

onto the bandsaw mill.

Just as important as the quantity and value of timber produced is the fact that the carbon captured by the tree over the

past 400yrs will remain stored in the milled timber for centuries to come rather than being released once again into

the atmosphere had the tree gone to biomass.
