flooring sample from pratten qld
we have got a block of timber to cut just west of pratten qld, and had to do a smaple of the spotted gum for a reseller in sydney.
2 x 16 hour days (3.5 hours driving each way and 8 hours milling) and 6.6 cube of log to get 2.5 cube of first grade spotted gum. plus a heap of 6x2 rails from the heart that the property owner can use.
flooring feedstock has to be cut oversize to allow for shrinkage so we did 156mm x 27mm and 106mm x 27mm to get 135mm and 85mm decking boards as an end product.
some nice timber can out of these little old spotty trees.

It sure was a bit of an experience, met some 'different' people, even saw a young fella (about 10-12) skin his first animal on his own - funny thing was another kid was there (about 6-8) and couldn't believe that is where meat came from
A few more pics from the two days...
