Can you recommend any good books on type of timber,
I must admit, being a joiner/woodworker my knowledge of timber is pretty woeful.
Cheers.

Different trade really to the saw boys as mainly softwood in carpentry which is mostly fir trees,Joinery is different as a lot of hard woods used.

Every time I've spoken with him, his passion and broad, in depth knowledge is a fascinating education.

What species is it please?

Coastal Redwood. Sequoia Sempervirens. A privilege and joy to live amongst, climb, fall, mill, and build/work with. 

 

The shit grows on trees around here-

Record yourself talking about something, put it on the internet, people listen to it like they'd listen to the radio.

do people need something like that to send them to sleep then?

 

if i start talking about timber the podcast would need to be about a year long (just the first episode) and people would fall asleep nearly instantly.

 

 

i wouldn't know how to record myself anyway.
