Cheers Jim K You might find it difficult to get a saw mill re-saw sleepers for you due to to the risk of foreign bodies being buried in the timber damaging one of their expensive blades. I once enquired about rip blade for a chain saw as I was re-sawing an 8ft oak log which was proving difficult to pass through the band saw. Nobody round here has ever heard of such a thing and the standard cross cut chain saw blade is rubbish at ripping. Paul Mc Cann |

They may ask you to guarantee that. I know lots are very loathe to touch anything non forestry grown as there is no guarantee it hasn't had something buried in it at some stage of its life I once enquired about rip blade for a chain saw as I was re-sawing an 8ft oak log which was proving difficult to pass through the band saw.

Why on earth get sleepers sawn when you can buy oak planking anyway? -- To people who know nothing, anything is possible.
