I have joined the forum in hoping to get some advice as to what to do with a tree i have recently cut from our property. The tree is a corymbia platyphylla or Eucalyptus platyphylla Eucalyptus alba or common name Poplar gum. The treelopper said it is the biggest he has ever seen and is well worth milling. The tree was over 100 yrs old stood 20m into the sky and is solid(which surprised the treelopper as he said they are usually hollow). I have since contacted a miller and set a date to mill with lucas mill on site. The miller has asked what I would like slabs , boards etc.
Since my woodworking abilities are limited to a simple table and chopping boards and we already have a house full of furniture and sure that we will not use all this timber.
So my main question is where do I go from here. Any help or suggestions are welcome. thank you.
The timber colour is pink to red and the main trunk is 1.3 m to 1.6m diameter and 3m long(weight 3.2 tonne) The cranedriver told us the weights as he removed them. There are 6 more large logs (800mm wide 7m long)
