Andy, did you make that rocking horse yourself ? If so where did you get the plans for it ? Or did you just make it up as you went along ? Cheers.


I followed plans. Got them in the US after a lot of searching. Ok see if I have them on my laptop and I’ll drop you a PM if I can find them. I altered the design slightly but that was more to do with not having the right tools for the job more than anything.

Beech is worth maybe the same as Ash - perhaps £25 per cubic foot ( once milled and thoroughly dried) but only for fairly clean boards of course.  So in theory there may be a fair value there in timbe

I’m not getting many takers at £100 for that size post. Not sure why, we are in a rich area.    people went nuts for these yew planks though that I sawed just to save from the firewood pile. £2

That’s my thinking.

The Beech I’ve milled and used for my own projects is lovely timber, is a bit of a shame it’s not currently very desirable.

Saying that Dave seems to flog it quite readily.
