a few years ago i did a job for a skittle alley that included using hornbeam but this was difficult to come by, i need to know if anyone can help me out here.

if anyone can supply me with 3 1/2" x7" hornbeam either fully air dried or kiln dried of any length over 48" then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

 

I've not got any dry, but there is a seriously big Hornbeam maiden that came down nearby last winter. If you've got an ongoing need then I'll see if I can get my paws on it?

 

Do you start with 2 sections of 3 1/2 x 7in and glue them up to make a roughly 7 x 7 turning blank? They are massive old pins at 14 1/4!

 

 

There's a lot of 'big' Hornbeam coppice round this bit of the Weald, it's mostly very fluted with lots of inclusions, and I've never had a massive amount of success drying it sensibly (and worm loves it :( ). Would you work with boxed heart smaller Hornbeam, or does it need to be heart free from a bigger tree?
