I've started the Larch!

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

 

Just saw this. Nice. Looking good!

2 days for me that would be. 1 of my regular saw guys who is well up to speed cutting on a woodlands HM 130 But i have an excavator for loading which takes the heavy work out of it. 2 days x 2 men but i wound maximise each log 

Luvely innit!

An Avant with a Log Grab is really the dogs danglies. Such precision for placing logs right up to the band to get the full 4.8m cut. Wish I owned one now.  But I get weekends use.

To much flexibility in a ratchet strap even though it feels tight. I would have 5 nylon band straps on those 

OK thanks, would this kit do the trick?

Yes that will be about right with the strapping and clips/ I had a load of strapping and clips given me

what would you recommend i do with these slabs of beech, i've just got 3, 5 ton ratchet straps on them, mega mega tight
they will be outside a little while before they go in the kiln
 
then a sheet of celotex over the top 
 
is there more i should be doing to make sure they don't move, they'll be for table tops so!!
thanks

Could put some 2x2 like stickers on the top and beams on top of those running length ways. All strapped to stop warping.
