walnut tree is about to be felled! What to do with it?
treequip replied to abergavenny walnut's topic in Milling Forum
The first thing to establish is, is the timber is any better than firewood. I have seen plenty of walnut stems that are completely goosed either through decay or defects. Its also entirely possible that it has nails or worse in it, garden trees often do and that would reduce its value particularly at a sawmill. At best the timber is used for gun stocks, at the other end of the scale wood turners like it and take the smaller stuff. Any value is accrued when the timber is processed, which often means transporting it. Transport can take a bight out of any profit, mobile band mills can mill it on site but you need to get it next to the mill, chainsaw milling is slower and less economic but for a single tree with the potential for inclusions and bad access is probably the best option. -

Ha ha ha. You don't get a vote, its not a democracy. The client has a plan of action in mind the best we can do is offer advice and allow the client to make an informed choice. -
Its what the search button is for:laugh1:

So "your" ultimate arb truck is something that's as rare as hens teeth????

That is such a big ask, pushing down with your right foot will never fail to put a smile on your face.

You could get a Dodge ram but it might be a step backwards :laugh1: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/lounge/62935-dodge-ram-vs-land-rover-defender.html

Forget all that cheap as chips stuff and go used HYDROVANE 15 COMPRESSOR - SINGLE PHASE - 2.2 HP | eBay Quiet, and it will blow your socks off

I also fail to see the point of root pruning in cases like this, you leave the vast majority of the roots behind so pruning them is pointless:001_rolleyes:

Don't do it Gordy

The beetle is interested in the cambial area of the timber, usually Ash, if your house has any of that in it best get busy with the insecticide.

Seen all that before, going to Hayfield sheepdog trials instead

Air sounds the likely culprit, or perhaps the PR on the centre is blowing off see if the sucker will wind out a little. Glad to see you are on top of the job:thumbup1:

Good stuff, I am a big fan of the "eigenbau" school. The head seems to rise a little on the cut, a closed centre valve on the up/down circuit would stop that.

But they don't know how big the job is going to be so it has to be day rate

It needs a bit of grease to stop that spring squeaking Otherwise great as long as it isn't doing knotty stuff

So what's a used chipper cost? A grand? Four grand? Ten grand? Anything worth having is going to be somewhere north of 5 grand, losing that sort of cash out of a business is financial madness as well as risky as fook.

You can still have a receipt if you pay cash
-
If all they want is a receipt sell it to a mate and buy it back the next moment
-
Do you mean under the table type of deal? I get paid in cash all the time and I issue receipts.
-
No problem, I think the ebay thing is a bit of a no hoper, transactions fall off your list and getting ebay to dredge it out of the system is going to be difficult. Its hard enough to get them interested in a live transaction let alone a historic one.
-
Cant you go back to the people you bought it from and ask for a receipt?
-
Yup, I would have put it more as a might though

If he paid by paypal and if the seller marked the item as paid
