sounds better every post.cheers big j i think the walnut was so good for the brown colour due to fact the tree had not put much growth on in the last 20 years the tree was felled as it was leaning towards power lines with a lot of decay in the main fork and had honey fungus around the roots .
-
sounds good rob cheers i will go for around £100 mark a slab as sounds fair for such rare wood i will be lucky if i get a bit like this again
-
cheers for the replys that would be good 70pound a cube jph:thumbup1: i like the list of wood on your web site what i dont sell green i may air dry or see if any local sawmills would hire out space in there kilm if it dont kill the job with the cost as i dont mill much to justify building a kilm,and at least what sell green will be out of my hands if it splits,i have some yew to mill soon and most of that i will keep as a investment to dry out
-
i was surprised how nice they came out .one side of the tree had a large fork that had split out so salvaged what i could as there was some rot on one side of the trunk,asked a companys that buyes in walnut if they wanted to buy it in the round but didnt want to take the risk,so was well worth me milling it.
