Despite having recently become a father (to a beautiful little girl we called Hanna just over three weeks ago), I've been quite unusually busy with work this July.

 

I've just about finished prepping the 2nd large heat vent kiln, which involved partitioning it into 20ft of kiln and 7ft of band/fuel store.

 

The kiln will be loaded up next week with a full load of beech and douglas fir. Just over 100 cubic foot (of the 185 cube) of the beech will be going for a floor, but should anyone want to put in any requests, it will come out of the kiln at £20 a cubic foot. This is prime grade, forest grown, completely white beech (which is actually quite a rarity in Scotland). It's ideal for flooring, carcassing, cabinet making and more.

 

In addition to the beech, there will be around 130 cubic foot of douglas fir going in. I have no specific plan for this, but figured it would be useful to have a stock of joinery grade DF kicking around. This would be about £15 a cubic foot and is ideal for (amongst other things) windows, doors, skirtings etc.

 

Also have a batch of 1.5" Elm in the other kiln at the moment that just went in last week. Various grades, some spalting (quite unusual) and priced £25-36 a cubic foot.

 

Usual stock of green elm that can be cut to order, as well as oak, beech, bit of yew, sycamore, spruce, western hemlock and douglas fir in the yard.

congratulations mate. are you enjoying the sleepless nights?

 

 

any chance you can chuck a 5"x5" length from an off cut (if you have one) in there too just to see how it handles being kilned. it can always go on the fire afterwards

Sleep has become much more precious!

 

Sadly, I can't foresee a situation where I'd have a 5x5 off cut Steve - it's a big old lump!

I think they forgot about it completely, so should they bill me for it, I'll let you know. Otherwise, I'd count it as a freebie
