I think you answered your own question in your first post: hot... dry... assuming you're in the south of the country that is. I believe it's been somewhat less dry oop north.

I grew Phacelia once as a green manure and remember how it just hummed with pollinating insects; they really go for it.

That's one heck of a lot of wedge Rob when a decent one can be bought for £60 or so. I get your point re spending on quality but all things in moderation and all that! Jon

Looks like Griselinia (littoralis), usually grown as hedging. Nice bark.

If any substantial lumps are coming off the tree it would appear they make beautiful turned pieces

He'll be fine as long as he has plenty of Pornography ?

You'd drown in a rainstorm but could take your goldfish to work with you ?

Give us a clue then...

Pass. What does it look like? I guess I'll know I missed it when the bar and chain cook!

Will you keep your awkward questions to yourself please?! Having obviously impressed with the pristine state of my 262 I whipped the clutch off the MS241. Ahem... half an eggcup of bitumen!

And you're why I bought mine. Well - that and the fact that I ran the tipping battery down; doh. Thanks.

I got Solar Battery Charger | Part No. 77108 | Part of the Battery Chargers range from Gunson WWW.GUNSON.CO.UK Gunson 77108 Solar Battery Charger part of the Battery Chargers range of tools. a couple of weeks ago. It's been out in the weather for the last week and the little green light - =charging - was still glowing this morning.

First time I've dipped into this thread in months and am I glad I did ? She can't 'arf play; wow.
-
A bit of a long shot but have you been cutting any Cotoneaster? It's probably the pic but I'm seeing the slightest hint of pink in the last shot.

My thought too though I hadn't heard the name Chilean Beech; Southern Beech is what I know - Nothofagus anyway.

My 262 - 10 seconds with an old washing up brush. The only hard bit was at the top left corner where you can see I chipped it off (very easily).
-
? No problems so far but I should shouldn't I.

Perhaps not so much with pure rapeseed oil; it's the last in the queue to congeal. I use nothing else in my saws and have no problems but then I rarely use a big bar though I recently spent a day ringing up 24-36" with a 30" bar and don't seem to have suffered undue wear. I never use any other veg oil; I think they do congeal. Of course even rapeseed oil will over months.

If that's a Wedding Cake tree it's been cut in a way that destroys the point of having it so I doubt it's that! Also the tree doesn't seem to be trying to stratify its structure. Of course it may not be a Cornus at all!
-
Yeah, we ended up dangling a couple of ornaments just inside. We really didn't fancy a plastic kestrel gently swinging in the lounge!

Maybe the UK should plant more....

Thus creating a small corner of New South Wales! Thanks very much. Jon -
A week after leaving school I went to work on a large estate in West Sussex, turning up on time on the Monday morning and introducing myself. 'You need to speak to Bill X, the foreman. Ah here he comes now'. And there was Bill, a man in his 50s, wandering up the yard with a 9' sleeper under each arm!
-
It certainly is. Wow. What a beautiful animal.

There's the Cornus test (again!): very carefully tear a leaf across the central vein but don't let the two halves separate. As you slowly pull them apart you'll see a fine filament of latex-like sap if it's Cornus. I think it's a good shout from tomo, certainly as far as the leaf goes. The fruit is nothing like that on my Cornus alba but that doesn't really mean a lot.
