looking for laburnum timber

[nepia]

hey jon, do you want to go around the country and collect the whole lot mate:lol:

 

I thought that was what I was doing now. Got some more bits that may tickle your fancy: only got off the plane 4 hours ago so give me a day or two and I'll get you some pics.

steve cant believe you didnt ask me? if you had a week ago,,you`d have had loads,,,Ive gone through my pile and reckon you`ll get a set from stuff I sorted out today,,,as made mushrooms from the rest,,,also got two lengths of 5.5 x5.5 beech for you,,what happened to lignum?

 

didn't occur to me mate. i thought you wanted to use what you showed me for your own personal use anyway.

 

if your passing i'll take the beech mate.

 

 

the lignum was a right cock up. the delivered it with a truck that had no tail lift or pallet truck and it weighs about 150kg.

 

the next week they did finally deliver it on a tail lift truck only for me to realise that it was way too big. 12 3/8" was what i was told i was to receive and i got one that is 15" in diameter.

it is to be replaced with one that is 12 3/4" which is what the customer needs. i'll let you know when i have it so we can sort out the milling.

cutting it in to two 4' lengths will be fine. i should be able to make a couple of nice bowl out of something that size too.

 

 

Hi Steve,

 

The main trunk of the tree where I felled it near the base had some rot through it. Some of the stems had rot but there is a fair bit of 4" - 10"

diameter stuff that seems good. Didn't get a chance to go through it all thoroughly cos of time.. I did take a couple of photos on my phone...

Below.. I could try ringing up the trunk a bit to see how far the rot goes. There is certainly a pallet full of good stuff anyway.

Thanks

Timon

Will sort through it and send you some pics of what is there...

Thanks

Hi Steve ,

Here's some pics....

I'm away after next week so if you want to sort the pallet out this week that will be cool.. Otherwise I'll be back mid September .

I've got pallets and shrink wrap etc and I think I've got some pva.

I'll PM you my number..

Bad luck mate. I've just given a 10' stem of 12" dia away to my mate for woodturning. I felled id it 2 weeks ago along with a decent cherry and a couple of hornbeam. I get to keep all the wood and get paid for the removals from my workshop landlord.

Glenrothes is a bit of a long way though.

 

pity i could have made lots of them from one that size.

 

 

never mind, anyone else?
