Wood wanted.

This is probably geared towards the smaller arb setups out there who dont have the means to get bigger stuff off site.......

 

In my years in arb, i've rung-up, chipped, wasted some lovely timber.

 

Now i've quit climbing, but I'm still making stuff, & me and my 880 are looking for timber to mill, buy or just get off site, in the Kent / Surrey area.

 

This wood is for my own use, "TrollSpiel fine furniture".

 

Dont ring it up! Call the Troll. Short notice ok.

 

Keep my number. 07944 111 000.

Thanks for the reply, Rich.

 

After, all sorts. It can depend. Some things I build stay outside, some in.

 

I'm not just after the nice stuff like burr oak & black walnut - Ive about to make a table from a 5ft across Macracarpa. but, oak, spaulted woods, cherry, cedar & other softs, all sorts - it's more about what I have = what it gets used for. I've a kiln here. Some gets used green.

 

Ive two great sources of wood (x boss and mates), where I can mill right next to where I park, but always on the lookout. And if it helps out some of the smaller getups to get it off site, and I get it cheaper - all the better.

 

So if you have something you want off site....

Nice one mate. Rochester isn't that far. I'll keep your number as I work for a number of different firms in the area. If we get to do anything nice and it other wise would just go for firewood then I'll give you a buzz.

the small piece in the pic, i microwaved to season quickly and has remained perfect for 2months.

 

my only concern is maintaining the moisture content, to preserve the timber.

 

What setting on the microwave? What moisture content is best to preserve such timber?

Hello Central-S....

 

I'm down in Port Talbot (jn40) over the weekend I think.. Would it be ok to come see sat / sun?

 

I'm not looking for turning wood size bits.. eg, today I cut 4 1metre high x sq ft, nice forest oak - they will stay as that and become speaker stands... Most wood goes into furniture of some kind.
