Greetings from Jutland.

 

I'm a carpenter and general loafer, specialising in the repair of historic timber framed buildings and mill up my own Oak on a Logosol M8 with a Stihl 880. I'm currently working my way through a crumbly old farmhouse that we purchased about 7 years ago and we moved from Somerset to central Jutland about 5 years ago.

 

I have two small coppice, one of birch and the other of Hazel and Beech and do a bit of hedge laying on my own property. I'm currently thinking of getting a Logosol 3 phase bandsaw for cutting boards and reducing the amount of sawdust I make with the M8.

 

I'm interested in setting up a business milling wide board Oak and Scots Pine for flooring and bent Oak timber for framing, so I'm keen to hear of anyones experiences of that.

 

I can source standing timber from the local state run plantations at about £15 cubic meter in the round for Oak if I fell it myself. I can't see it making me rich, but I should have a bit of fun in the process and get to heat and repair my house for free. It's also nice to know where your timber comes from and how many miles it has clocked up from forest to mill.

 

I also frame the odd gable and install them locally. I studied timber building conservation at The Weald and Downland Museum about 8 years ago, and thoroughly recommend it if that's your bag.

 

Hi

 

I must admit, I have the greatest respect for what you have embarked upon & wish you every success - we too are in the process of renovating an old French farmhouse whlst living in a sustainable manner producing a lot of our own fruit & vegatables, solar water heating etc.

 

Yes, I suspect it wont make you rich, but I gain imesnse satisfaction in doing what we do, so long as you have enough to get by thats what matters - theres no pockets on a shroud!

 

good luck

Start a new thread Reg, your request will likely go unnoticed in this thread.

Hi there

Have just joined, but been reading threads a couple of years.

I've been out off the Woods for 4 years, but desire to return as full time forester, after realising carpentry isnt making me half as happy as forestry does

I hopefully soon find a job where i can abuse my new husqvarna 576xpg with a 25" sugihare bar, just to mention one.

 

See you out there

Best regards from Denmark
