I'm glad you're able to shift it. My customers always wanted elm and oak and second to that, ash.

currently have two staircases and a kitchen in beech this week without trying. we will be handling 400 to 600 tons of beech this year as we'll use it in our workshop, the timbers good be a shame to waste

I can ask the estate thats trying to flog that 10m long Oak Log you spotted on Gumtree if you like? Im sure I could get you some Beech cheap?

 

Or if you're after something a bit more seasoned I have a few slabs thats been air drying for a couple of years. 2" and 3". 

Cheers Andy that would be appreciated, I'd want to start from scratch and mill the whole log. Top slab will be a decent lump for sure. Gonna copy a one that's in a local butchers.

Thanks for that. Bit of a hike but I may be down Northumberland with the trailer at some point soon. If that's the case I'll give you a shout, cheers

i use it for my skittles and need a constant flow as the stuff that is milled now gets used in 3 years time.
