Fugly Yew and a bag of nails

[Big Beech]

Well, a big thanks to Welcome to Copford Farm Sawmill, oak, green, seasoned, beams, saw mill, Horam, Heathfield, East Sussex, BS5756, TRADA, timber grading, graded oak, grade, TH1, TH2, THA, THB, Alex Gingell, Harry Gingell, sustainable, restoration, timber supplies, supp for milling a real ugly lump of Yew i had taken over there.

After a cuppa tea, and a big 1/4" gauge 6" nail in the wood which harry caught with the mill, we started to get some good looking boards.

then, after another 3 nails and 3 blades later a few more boards arrived.

the colouring due to the nails was quite intense, as was the language!!!

 

the boards where 7ft long by upto 25" diameter

 

Harry and Lex,

 

a big thank you

what a lovely colour yew is such a beautiful wood.and so underused. maybe because not many yew come around for milling.

It is rather nice. Only showed a few of the boards but many have significant colouration to them.

Looks like at some point someone wacked home copper nail as well some greeney tint to one endbof the tkmber.

It was gonna be made in to a rustic style chair but feel a good table top will come from it. Just need to ask about kilning a few slabs in 8 months time and costs involved.
