unusual boards

[vinnie_chip]

Hi all, is anyone milling any unusual shaped boards? I make mirrors and furniture from weird and wonderful timbers and could do with a few regular suppliers. Any size from 2ft upwards, must be kilned. Cheers, Vinnie

My burry oak boards are still in the kiln. 1.5 inch thickness - any use?

 

I also have some large air dried spalted/flamed beech boards - 8ft long, 2.25" thick, up to 36 inches wide, though mostly half that. Can be kilned at short notice.

I think it's the 'must be kilned' bit which will limit your supply a little. Not many of the people on here have kilns - with exceptions such as Big J who is on a rather larger scale than most of us.

 

For example - I'll shortly have some 6'x7' stuff with really interesting grain, but there is no chance of kilning it - I'll be lucky just to lift it!

We have some lovely yew, some olive ash and plenty of interesting oak. Bit unfortunately our kiln is t running at the moment.

Thanks for the replies lads, maybe the kilning bit isn't so important if it's the right timber. Images would be good if anyone has any.. cheers.
