I just sold a load of oak with some spruce in to get the fire going:thumbup1: In a farm shop near me they are selling 9 logs in a net bag £4.15 softwood the yuppies from London just buy a few bags for the weekend they don't care what sort of wood it is:001_smile:

I am having a test tonight. I felled a dead Elm today cut it into 10 inch logs split with an axe and it is on the fire now wow the whole fire is aglow it is red hot:thumbup: I think i will bring some home every night

I have never burnt any i usually burn it on the bonfire. Two woods i love and have for myself is white thorn and black thorn:thumbup:

What is the truth about Elm as firewood if you read the poems or firewood charts they say Elm sits and smoulders and does not burn. I am clearing two ponds at the moment and there are about 100 Elms so it seems that will be in my cordwood stack for next year so what do you guys and gals think of Elm as firewood:001_smile:

I had 11 dead oak trees felled and i wanted to fell one which was dying but the timber merchant (the faller) said he had heard that they were getting strict on this term. But myself and the faller both agree this mature oak will not flush next year it has been declining all this year.

I asked my boss if he could buy me the H&S disks from the AA he said no it takes a lot of reading i think he may have been right As to putting in to this site i thought i did put a lot in i must be wrong. i will have to do some more reading and put something good in. -
It would be very kind if someone could send me a daily R/A form i have one which i fill in every job but it is well out of line with the current way of thinking. I need to update this as the woods department needs to come into the right century. I think if this site could have all these forms ready to download and always up to date it would be very helpful and would save most of us searching the web for them:thumbup:
-
What sort of wood is that bowl Ian? are the holes knot holes?
-
