Have you a ready market for the Larch you plan to mill as there will be a lot of hours on a Woodlands milling plus the handling, stickering and covering ?

That would be a no!

I've had interest from local landscapers but everyone is in the same boat now.

But I'm ever hopefull and given that all my booked milling jobs have been postponed, milling this lot will give something to do over the next few weeks/months of lockdown.

I've started the Larch!

I know it's not particularly exciting but one does what one can in these restricted times!

I cant believe how cheapo they are! '

 

I use these off-shore. Slightly more expensive but will stop a lot more movement, but I guess no use for Slabs etc as they will come lose when they start to shrink.

I tried ratchet straps but now just use loops of rope tightened with a twisting stick so easily adjusted as the wood shrinks ?
