Here is the one I made up from bits I got from our local scrapyard.
-
I would want £40 per ft3 for joinery quality dry oak.
-
I have probably got some, I will look tomorrow. I am near Dunmow. John

We own 20 acres of spruce woodland in Wales, clear felling about an acre a year. I mill the bigger butts and process the rest with a Palax . I am getting a good log pile now. Hopefuly I will be able to sell some next winter.

I tested a bit of oak today that I milled last summer, been air drying in an open sided shed. 4 x 3 inch , meter read 38% in the middle.

Looking for a mount bike looking to £1000/1500
John Hughes replied to mendiplogs's topic in General chat
I have an Epic, I got it when they first came out. Great bike. -
Sorry, meant to type 19cm. That's 7.5 inches, no one is going to think that is worth £100 are they?
-
Are you sure it is not 19 inches diameter? At 19mm it is firewood.
-
Last time I bought some I paid about £13 each for Woodmizer blades. John

I have two like that. They will chase anything that moves with four legs but are not interested in anything with only two. They are Irish.

Yes, I think an air rifle may be the solution but I don't know if the guinea fowl hold their heads still for long enough for my shooting skills. I have my eye on a nice Theoben rapid fac in .25 calibre which should sort them out. John

Big J Do you find your customers prefer waney edge boards? I always mill at least one square edge as the boards take up alot less space when stacked. It also means I am not transporting bark and sapwood when I bring a load back from Wales to Essex. John

I saw them again today, out for their lunch time stroll, all luvy dovey. I expect they go round hugging trees, eating wild garlic and happy mushrooms. No kids yet but no doubt they will arrive in a week or two. Don't they have any sense of history and tradition? A Fox should do what a Fox does best ..... KILL They must realise there is a group of seven of my neighbours guinea fowl and now 2 peacocks that congragate outside my bedroom window every moring. Croaking and calling at 4.00am, but can these foxes be bothered to do anything about it? NO, it makes my blood boil. End of rant John

Excellent. I often have dreams of a whack of logs like that. All lined up and of course no nails.:drool: How long did it take the Woodmizer to mill them all?
-
That sounds a nice mill. If I could get more butts to mill I would sell my 8inch Lucas and upgrade. John
-
I would not bother milling this tree. Looks like turning blanks or firewood to me. Has anyone on here actually managed to sell a walnut stump? and for how much?
-
I have started to use Poly X oil and have been pleased with the results. John

Horses for courses. If you are going to get big logs in back gardens then get a swing mill. If you can get long straight woodland trees then get a bandmill. If your budget is £5000 then get a swing mill . If it is £10000 then get an hydraulic Woodmizer. If you are young and fit get a chainsaw mill. John

Another photo of my little Zetor, this time with a Hesford winch on the back.
-
I have an lt40 hydraulic. I was hoping you were in tractor distance from me but you are a bit too far away. John
-
Last year I was offered £40 per ton for spruce delivered to the mill at Talley, which may be near you. I may be interested in the bigger logs. I have a Woodmizer in woods just out side Llandovery. Where abouts are the logs? John
-
I am on the Herts Essex borders, but will travel.

My stocks of Cedar of Lebanon are getting low, so I am looking for a nice big butt to mill. One of the first trees I milled was a C of L, about 4 foot diameter blown down in a church yard in Sible Hedingham in 1987.We milled it with a double headed chainsaw mill. Then I milled one at the bottom of the runway at Stansted airport, by this time I had got my Woodmizer:thumbup1: Please keep me in mind if you have one that needs to come down. John
