Giant Oregon White Oak on our WoodMizer LX-250 Sawmill

This is a bottom section of an Oregon white tree that we salvaged after the last ice storm that we had a few years ago. We had around a dozen white oak trees and dozens of others removed. The ice storm either caused main limbs, too many limbs, or just took the trees down completely.

We mill this on our Woodmizer LX250 sawmill. We also run Woodmizer carbide blades exclusively while milling. This white oak got processed into 8/4 or 2 inch thick slabs. Mostly dimensional, some live edge slabs from the jacket cuts.

Ran about 320 board ft of dimensional and another 130 of live edge from this short log. It was around 4 ft across and 5 ft long. A lot of quarter sawn lumber came out of this log.
