Milling has been a thought for many years and was finally brought
into fruition with the purchase of mobile milling equipment (namely
the Lucas Mill) and a strong desire to stop so many big, old, fantastic
trees being wasted, either by burning, chipping, shredding or just
rotting away.

The founder of Reall Milling, Allan Seagrave
is a self- confessed ‘timber addict’ he loves anything
in timber and can often be heard saying “I’ll make it
out of timber…” to almost any situation that he may encounter.
After first seeing the Lucas Mill in operation at a Timber Museum
Open Day in 2000, Allan could see the potential of such a machine
and began working his way toward owning and operating such equipment
to maximise the gain from unfortunate but necessary situations like
road widening, some big old trees would be pushed over to make way
for inevitable and understandable progress, but then not used for
anything, other than some
landfill or a pile of woodchip. Local timber mills where not interested
in this kind of timber. The local Council to their credit did stockpile
some of this timber for their own use, but could not take every
tree they had to push over. So in an effort to use as much of this
timber as possible Reall Milling was started.

now runs the mill as often as he can to maximise the use from these
‘unwanted’ trees and contacts local developers, builders
and tree arborists even private citizens to source and use trees which
would otherwise be taken to the dump, burned or become a problem.
This timber is used primarily to satisfy building projects underway
at his family block of land, or can be bought on order for various
uses from construction to landscaping and furniture making. |
