  1. For something like that i would pay £20-£30 depending on how far i need to travel but to me its just a pile of wood with nothing done to it. What makes me angry is when people add the word woodturning/carving in the description they think they can add an extra £100 or so to the price, when its me or other turners who turn it into something beautiful. Rant over (rant not aimed at anyone here)
  2. What price for a pallet load + delivery ??
  3. Not all woodturners are tyre kickers, so to speak . As firewood and cordwood is at a premium its harder to find a bargin for woodturning bits. Also people ask for stupid prices , so therefore they get a stupid response back. So if no one local wants it split it for firewood as delivery or collection will also be a killer.
  4. Holm oak has a lovely grain, i would definately try and make something from it other than firewood. I've turned a few bits in holm oak and come out nice.

  21. So if this is the criteria so to speak, arn't you singling out the newbies ?? So people like pault who commented on here won't get a chance.
  22. Might me a silly question but are you wedging it as you go along ?? I ask this because there are more bar marks on the last bit you are cutting and if not the weight of the wood would be pressing on the bar, hence the marks at the end of wood. Just a thought:001_smile:
  23. I would get something like a predator stumpgringer in and grind away, suprised that wall on the right hasn't fallen over yet looks dodgy to me.
  24. To much of a lean towards wall, or blocking satalite signal
