In Response To: Material: Ash Trunk - What do I do? (Wayne)

: The limbs have been cut and stacked, but now I have a massive trunk, probably
: 12'X 26" diameter that has me, well, stumped. What do do with it?

In my area, there are folks who operate portable band-saw mills, like the one below. They will come to your property & mill your trees into rough lumber, for a fee. I haven't had it done, so I don't know what it costs, but it might be worth looking into. This one isn't on wheels, but some are trailer-mounted.

Good luck. Sounds like you could have some nice wide planks out of that log.
