interesting job tommer, and really good to have loads of pics

[tommer9]

I was pleasantly surprised at how well it cut, once we scraped/ pulled the bark off. The wood was perfect about 2 inches in, and cut like green wood. The tree fell out of the bank about 25yrs ago, and has been 80% submerged at high tide, and exposed at low tide. Either way, it is absoloutely stunning burry oak. Cant wait to see how it looks when i mill it. There will be vids then too.

Really cool job yeah...Dont know what the woodlouse thing was- there were loads of them living under the bark. I thought they were really funny and quite cool trilobytes.

Great job mate. Nice pics and video. I cant wait to see the milling pictures i bet there is a good pattern in it. It would be nice to think that a piece of wood like that could be in an art gallery in London:thumbup:

Nice work mate, good to see a bit o local work, oo arr!

Might be worth having the planks kiln dried, have you met Phil Alston in Constantine? he has one, I'm taking some cedar down there soon as I want a right proper nice bookcase.

Yeah, i know phil. A couple of really good mates live on that road, and i have chatted to phil a few times, although never managed to actually meet him!! I didnt know he did external kilning, i will have a load of work for him now!! I have always used Tino, but his kiln isnt really going anymore since he moved.
