  1. Its an Elm, but i am not sure which. I know it is not a wych elm.
  2. I have got a feeling that is you are selling food, you will need a basic food hygene cert. But if you are not selling you don't i.e. if you are having a party. Or you could just wing it and hope that nobody gets food poisoning.
  3. Looks like somthing from Dr Who
  4. How much better do you recon it is, as it is nearly twice the price of the orgeon chain ?
  5. Felling by hand, skidding out in whole tree lenghts, and using forwarder/ excavator with timber grab to do the lifting. But being adaptable in any suituation, and adapting what you have will be far more usefull that lots of machines that only do one job.
  6. Ho ho ho. I prefer the redneck with the swinging chainsaw.
  7. It is some sort of gall, but i can not find a picture to match in my insect book. Somebody on here will know.
  8. Now that this thread is suitably de-railed, Shall we discuss the merits of a feller-buncher, over a harvester, both tracked and wheeled ?
  9. Sounds like you have it sorted, enjoy the camp fire, and hope that there are not too many biting insects
  10. Eddy stobart are after large quantities of wood for biomas, it might be worth trying them. Stobart Biomass | Services | Stobart Group
  11. If all you got is Chestnut, then build it out of Chestnut. It is nearly as durable as oak, and is a bit easier to work.
  12. On my own i can cut to size (3') from the timber stack, split (with a 12 ton hydralic splitter) and stack to air dry about 4-5 m3 a day. with two of us it goes up to about 9-10 m3. Wood sizes 4-18".
  13. Alright then is it the Devils walking club ?
  14. Is it the Common prickly ash, or toothache tree ?
  15. How long do you think it will take, based on your previous experience ?
  16. Is the wood in 'Better woodland Wales, or Glastir'. Because if it is then there will be grants for access into the woods. If the terrain is bad you can effectively double your extraction costs, and you will need a winch. From what you are saying i would say that you might be better off walking away from this one, particularly as you have no machinery.
  17. If you are getting it milled in-situ it will only take a couple of hours, so it will be their hourly rate x2. Or buy yourself a chainsaw mill and do it yourself !
  18. This what i do to keep the kids happy when on boring woodland walks, but we call it ent spotting. First one to spot a face gets a prize, which is normally a stick !
  19. Arr the delicate embrace of sweet lady cider, mmmmmmmmm
  20. The goblet with the wavy edge, was it turned like that, or were they added after the goblet was finnished ? Some goodwork there with interesting forms, well done.
