I was given the oppertunity to purchase this large oak after it fell due to strong winds and Jamie Smith of J.R.D Sawmills kindly brought his on -site mill and quickly turned it into some nice usable slabs !! Given the reccommended drying times for Oak to season properly i wont be carving it for a few years yet but its an investment i suppose but there is plenty of it so i wont run out in a hurry!
