very interesting. Thanks again.
-
So do you get it for free??? and you can store it for free???
-
If you can weigh and guarantee 1 tonne then you can sell it by weight. Selling by volume is far better though and your cabstar( if single cab) should hold approx 2 cubic metres as a level load. This is only a guideline and you should check first. Get some true cubic metre vented log sacks to quantify. Work out you production costs and delivery costs and what profit you would like to make. How were you planning to produce and store the wood??

Search for "seasons" on iTunes and spend the £1.89. Well worth it.

Heard these before but still good to read. Nice one Tommer
-
Yeah, that Dryads saddle was the biggest Ive seen.
-
@hama. It was hard. Also thought it was Ganoderma:blushing:
-
Please note All scaffold poles and access ladders were of correct safe working load.

Man that guy has the skills to pay the bills.

Next week we are going to start on the Poplars. haha

You really have to see it in the flesh to appreciate its true magnificance. A work of art.
-
No, no. Frankus fantasticus is commonplace around these parts. In fact, it is the only fungus that grows.
-
Sorry, should have elaborated on the pics. If you imagine the stump in my pics to be a circle. The full bottom half or the circle, from the fungal bracket all the way round to the opposite buttress, had a crack in it it. The wind on that day was hitting the side of the tree from which the phots were taken with some magnitude. The whole thing lifted enough to enable you to place your fingers between ground and tree and then sat back. After monitoring this for an hour or so and contact from the local T/O, out came the 880. Crash bang wallop. (after a really quick climb up to attach a pulling rope).
-
edit that. Dont think they are Oysters now. The book I got from Hama show them differently. There are too many to name or ident. They all look similar.
-
Yeah, the first and last ones are Oyster mushrooms (guess) and the rest are frankus fantasticus fungus.

I havent actually met him but have found his book on Heating with wood very interesting and heard a lot about the fella. Sounds like a top guy.

Came a cross this small 2 part series about sharpening your circular saw for firewood production. Might be of interest to some. Those of you in the know may recognise Andy Reynolds as the star of the videos.

Found this video. Might be of interest. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx6UKeZIsvc]YouTube - Sawmilling home grown timber[/ame]

This has been a thoroughly interesting thread from a bystanders point of view. Some really thought provoking content. in the photograph below I will ask the question ; did this Beech deserve to die?? Before reading this thread, my answer would have been quite simply yes, it was dangerous to the point of lifting enough in the wind for me to put my finger underneath before it sat back again. It wouldnt have lasted much longer and was alongside a busy road into a business park, a serious hazard and potential disaster. However, after reading this thread, my answer is different. The question was did this beech deserve to die? My answer is another question, Did this Beech deserve to have a tarmac road placed on top of its roots a mere 12 inches away from its trunk??

Another free prize draw; winner gives £50 to charity.

Who did actually win the original comp???? -
These pics show some really technical rigging which may be above some of your mental capacities. It is pure engineering genius and you should marvel in the wonder. So.... whats your address so as to send you the prize is what you are thinking, well......I didnt actually have anything to do with this rigging work nor did I get permission to do the papparazzi work with the camera either, so I dont feel i can accept first prize. Thanks for looking.

heres some more from me travels.
