Whats this wood?

[normandylumberjack]

Looking at the long fibers I would say not Beech, too clean for Oak or Elm, Poplar would be a bit more melted/dissolved imo, I think Ash or a softwood?

 

Either way, with its time in the water and mud it will have some good colour, remember that retard and his son on Ax men? they were making loads on old Doug Fir because of its staining.

 

Get her planked:biggrin:

We have been looking at a big lump of timber washed down from the winter floods. The EA would like it pulled out as it could cause a log jam on a bridge further down river so am looking at pulling it out. Any ideas what it could be? It looks like a massive lump of elm or maybe Ash. Its difficult to tell as the bark has come off. If it is something high grade it will probably be planked up. If its a scabby poplar then the log pile it is.

 

HI MATT i will down with LR H14 PTO winch mate if you like thanks jon

Is there any one in England that makes a living pulling logs out of rivers in the uk like there is in the us?

Or even any one who does a bit?

I think it would be a cool job.

Would you need a license or just land owners permission

In tidal waters would you even need permission or just somewhere to land your logs?

I short, could I do it for a living cos I would sell my house and buy a boat if I could

I may have to get the services of the the old man as our trucks with the BFG AT's wont have the gripping power or low end grunt to pull that brute out. It was floating on the surface in May and extends atleast another 14 ft out. Will attempt to pull it out without cutting a massive hole out of the existing vegetation due to locals kicking up fuss when we fell a scraggy goat willow.

Hi what will you do with it when you haul it out i have an alaskan mill so could come and plank it up it would make some nice planks i bet P M me if interested ii am only in shaftesbury i could come and help haul it out if you want

Cheers Mark

I reckon it's a douglas fir utility pole. If you stick line on it and cut away the log udnderneath it, you could float it to a more suitable landing position. Or pt a winch redirect pulley quite high up in one of the trees behind and winch it out, the pulley height will lift it upwards and it will slide out no bother.

looks like Pop to me.
