  1. Wood in the round does not season, it has to be split. Sawn timber takes approx a year an inch to dry, so a 12" inch round log will take 12 years !! GET IT SPLIT
  2. I would say that there is some kind of infection that is causing the smell, rowan wood is not normally that yellow.
  3. Are you creating family trees, or are you going to remove the wood above the graft once it has taken ? What are the advantages of bud grafting over notch grafting ?
  4. Holy cow batman, thats going to need more than one horse to pull that with a full load.
  5. You were as unlucky as a friend of mine who spent 2 weeks stuck in a tent on mount Hood, only to find that when the weather broke, so much snow had fallen that they could not climb, so had to come home.
  6. Wait till she chews something that she is not supposed too, or has eaten somthing horrible and yaked it up on the carpet, you might not feel so proud. But the benefits far outweigh the negitives, and lets hope that she does not have the stinking anus of BOB
  7. I thought that was what you were talking about. Interesting pruning on the trees in the diagram
  8. That is one big cherry, is it the biggest in these here isles ?
  9. It sound an intresting idea, but a my broad band is currently running at 64 kbps, it is too slow to watch any movie footage. Got Any pictures ?
  10. how high have you climbed before you bottled out ? Try it under a tree, and climb it roped up, just to see how high you can get. I reccon that you will be able to get to the 14th rung. Go on you know you want to.
  11. Just a bit of fun. Lumberjack Games - Sports Games at Miniclip.com - Play Free Online Games
  12. I am busy that weekend as well. Don't worry there will be others. If i can pull me finger out i could probably organise one at Lawrenny over looking the estuary.
  13. Hi David, you would be correct. In my humble opinion it also produces one of the finest single variety ciders.

    Well done, you are the first person to find out what slack ma girdle means.

    Cheers Murray

  14. You have my vote, but i also like the redwood creek picture.
  15. Bugger i am away for that weekend
  16. Wot no nasty pictures Hope it heals quickly
  17. The Oak woods behind Maentwrog are fantastic, and not many people know about them. Harlech Castle is worth a visit. The Dinorwic slate quarries above Llanberis offer somthing completly different, dispite the warning signs (that everybody ignores) you can explore nearly all the quarry and there are some scary drops and tunnels to find.
  18. On flat damp to wet ground how much would you expect to extract per day. It would be spruce thinnings, tree lenght about 30' ???
  19. The wood is good for draw liners as it smell nice. If you have the ability and the time, it will probably be worth the effort. I have turned some nice platters from it, the grain always looks good.
