[treediver]

Just wondered if anyone made much dough from flogin their 'nice pieces of wood' to local woodyards etc..ive got yew and laburnum, spalted stuff n bits of burred stuff we've kept over the last few years in various lengths.

In fact any prices for any wood ....just so i know im not being totally screwed ..though im sure prices vary loads

cheers.

your best bet is to save it all up and got to a craft fair one day!

[treediver]

yeah i was thinking of something similar trying to flog it to woodturners

[husqycutter]

Do they like to dry them out themselves, I was told this by a woodturner at a craft fair a few years back.

[treediver]

Not sure (probably as they can measure the moisture loss themselves). Ive always sealed the ends with emulsified wax to prevent splitting and cracking from drying out too quick. I think the rough rule of thumb for seasoning is around an inch of wood a year ...so its gonna be a long wait for some bits... unless i plank em with one of those Canadian mills saw attachments

I work for a small timber mill and thay scream out for surgeons to bring in rare unusaul timber.

As for those saw attachments was at the AA show i was looking at one of these things empressed with this table being cut from a big butt when heard someone say that one was being used when the operaters hand slip of that handle in front of the saw and punched though the perspex on the chain "ouch" at this point i turned on my heels and looked at the moble bandsaws could just be a romuor but looking at the jig looked fessable
