A big lump of oak on our sawmill

This is still drying in the shed after two years or more. It's not the biggest piece we've milled but it's not far off.

do you go by the rule of 1 yr per inch, drying, after it's sliced ?

Pretty much. Luckily we've got enough space to stick it all in a corner and forget about it until we think it's usable. We use a local mill with a good kiln for anything urgent.
