spankis Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I'm in need of a small format/custom mill here locally, or a contact for somebody with a portable mill. Basically we cut down some trees (hickory and locust) this spring, and I've got a chunk saved from the biggest shagbark hickory that I'd like to keep for a mantle piece. It's around 8 feet long and about 18 inches in diameter. If I'm taking to a mill, I could likely get enough buddies together to get it loaded into my truck, but getting it unloaded would be tougher (likely a forklift?). Any suggestions on how I could get this done locally? I hate to see it rot. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Or maybe you can do it yourself at the ideafoundry.com. a grappel truck or dingo would be best for moving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
