Got too saw some today on the mill. I took this maple out of a guys woods a few weeks back. I sawed the top log right away, but just got to the but log today. It was about 30 inches on the small end. Had to split it in half, then still had to trim the flair some to get the mill past it.

Last slab is 29 inches wide. Some nice spalting and even some curl to it. It was rotten in the middle but I just worked around it best I could. Got some nice slabs out of it

Nice-looking wood, and man, the big slab is impressive.

Still have a bit if a tear in my eye thinking about all the turning blanks that died making that slab. :p
