slasherscot replied to Dean Lofthouse's topic in Maintenance help

straight butts dont always get the premium prices, natural bends in certain timbers are sought after but knowing what and to whom seems the hardwood merchants secrets. there is a good site called scottish hardwoods worth a look at.

it sure is, the problem is getting it on a trailer and taking it to suitable mill, lanarkshire hardwoods the only i know locally about 45 from Glasgow, with all the hassle sometimes cross cutting and firewooding seems easier
