If I get the job I will have to thin a large one out, next to a house. There doesn't seem to be a lot of growth in the centre of the crown it is all on the tips.

 

Has anyone thinned a holm oak out before and what sort of percentage should I be looking at?

As in Tom's pics home oak has a lovely grain on it that I've not seen on any other tree. I made a worktop out of some and it's been fantastic - it's got to be some of the hardest timber you can get!

 

Well worth milling but outside it's not the most durable. I'd stick to indoors.

 

I'll take some pics of the worktop and get them on this thread.

Ian, that bowl looks very familiar!

 

Cheers Rob, you guys are giving me a bit of encouragement to get as much away in large log as I can.

 

I think the home owner will have some satisfaction knowing its not just going to be burned.
