Hello, Arko-
Where are you at? I'd be happy to mill it for you on my Lucas Mill. I'm in SW Ohio. You've got about 500 bd-ft in that log, if it's any good. Put another way, enough walnut for 15 or 20 'yaks
I agree with other comments regarding Alaskan Mill and band mill. A single, relatively small, residential log is not going to get many millers salivating. The last time I did a backyard log I foung a buried basketball hoop bracket. What fun that was
Another option is to freehand rip the log with a chainsaw, preferably with a ripping blade on it. It is a rough method, but works. When I used to have a bandmill I'd occassionally have to do this to get a large log to submit. The Lucas can handle anything, so I haven't had to do that in a while.
Have fun, and good luck, but be careful! Consider putting chocks around the side of it to keep it from getting away from you. Hope this helps. Mike
