There's 10 slabs in that piece of oak and 8 each in the pieces behind which you can't see

That would buy a lot of gateposts
And that's just one tree !

We have 32 oaks lead on the floor that the NT have left for the beetles, whole trees left to rot where they fell and can’t even take the branches or will loose tenancy 😮

We had an oak cut up a couple of years ago. About a metre in diameter, 4 metres long. The guy with the mobile sawmill said £100 a slab. So far I've made two doors and a window. Oh and lots of firewood..
