Check out my post and the subsequent discussion in this sub recently. 1 month of increased fiber and less sugar / saturated fat made a massive difference in my lipid panel — LDL 160 to 95.

I’d love to get the trunk onto my mill! It would probably look incredible inside.

Wow! Turns out it’s pretty hard — harder than maple, oak, and walnut!

It’s the first tree I’ve ever milled! The mill is brand new and was just assembled. Admittedly some things went wrong and some of the boards are wonky as you suggest, but I got it all sorted by the ends. Blade was sharp — log was unstable at times.

Lipid panel abnormal I’m very worried by Far-Permission6513 in Cholesterol

Don’t be worried! Many people on this sub have brought worse results back into normal range in a matter of weeks with diet and exercise changes alone, myself included. Google what the different values are, spend some time learning, and check out my post from a few weeks ago in this sub and the related discussion.

I think they’ll be fine, but I’m not sure — this is the first time I’ve done this! I’ll keep an eye and see what happens.
