Looking for wood for table legs near Bristol

[se7enthdevil]

Thanks Steve, and for the useful durability chart. I'm guessing that a single table leg would use between 1 and 2 ft3 of wood? If so, makore is out of my budget by quite a way - cheers though.

 

Will see if I can get hold of a sleeper (thanks Alec, hadn't thought of that) cheaper! Having looked at the table again, tbink the top might be past it anyway...

 

you haven't done the maths have you.

 

one leg 5"x5"x40"= 1000 cubic inches, four legs that size are 2.3ft3.

 

it'll cost about £70 +delivery.

Nope, it was a guess! Not a very good one it would seem. Unfortunately, £70 is still really too much - think the table will have to be retired.

 

Thanks for the offer Muttley - not sure if I'm capable of making a decent table from scratch, but might be interesting to try...

I have some Yew branches around 3"-5" dia, in fact I have quite a bit of Yew and a lad who works for me lives in Bristol. If this is any good to you I am sure he would bring a few lengths back with him at the weekend and perhaps you could collect or meet up.
