Heaviest british wood?

[Ropechucka]

Depends on how late in the day it is......?

 

 

Especially on Fridays 😉

hornbeam is and always will be the strongest, hardest, most expensive, best, wettest, biggest, most difficult, most beautiful, useless, carve-able, plank-able, weakest, softest, cheapest, ugliest and worst tree ever and if in doubt it's definitely a hornbeam unless HMRC are asking in which case it's a "friends" beer money tree and you are just holding it for them while they pay your taxes, now please don't report me to the CIA and I think I've covered all bases!

End Off

Just to derail my own thread, but the HARDEST (as in to cut) was a block that the sawmill wouldn't touch was African ironwood. I say block because apparently it was cut when green in to a block and was used as a stabiliser on the old sailing ships to stop the cargo going all over the place in high winds, nothing would cut it.

Although not British greenheart and ekki is heaviest stuff I've worked with, hard as nails too

African Iron Wood .... World Champion .

Black walnut it's worth loads of money too!

 

Hornbeam otherwise! Don't see many African ironwood trees in the countryside, but there are some British iron trees over the road, buggers to fell!
