  6. I think he is mistaken. If yiou leave them in a damp still airless corner then yes they may go mouldy. If you dont then they should dry out very satisfactoraly.
  7. Yeah the pic was only as an example of your diversification reference. I know the sort of thing you are after. I am sure someone on here close to you will be able to help before long.

    kick back

    I thought that was about as educational as a fart. It didnt show any real kickback, and it didnt teach you how to start a plunge-cut properly either, and actually said nothing about anything. A waste of 2 minutes of my life i am sorry to say.
  9. I am sure that there will be someone on here with a mill who can/ does make these to order. i have supplied sheds and kits a couple of times out of larch, and posts to order from oak for this very purpose. My mill isnt properly set up at the mo as i am 'between' yards, or I would offer to help, although the distance would probably make it unecenomical anyway. This was for another member- not qute finished at the time of the pics as you can see, and apologies for the quality of the pic too!
  10. It may not be the official least wooded county, but we dont have many for certiain. The wind and salt make for that.
  11. yeah why- doesnt everyone?
  12. Pretty toasty down here.
  13. That looks proper hillbilly in the first 2 pics:thumbup:
  14. That set up is rockin Andy!! Plantings taking shape too!
  15. Hey alex...which raves were you involved in?
  16. There are at least 3 in cornwall alone running harvesters, and we are the least wooded county in the country.
  17. Looks like you're on song again now Andy:thumbup1: after the idiot the first day:thumbdown:. £3k a tree!!! wow thats not to be trifled at. will the stripped one survive / recover do you think or did he totally ruin it?
  18. I am sure this isnt quite what you were after Stevie, but this is my proudest, and IMO only REAL achievement. (Not the dog haha) He is top of the class, about 2 years ahead in his subjects and has the most beaming school reports. Everything he turns his hand to he excels at. he is what makes me carry on in the mornings!
  19. No offence to any woodturners here, but......
  20. OMFG thats awesome. how much to make me one?
  21. :lol: Nice timber too....
  22. Wood doesnt alter in length on drying, it only moves/ shrinks across the grain. However, there is almost no movemet at all in cleft wood in this situation, as the natural stresses arent being messed with as they are when sawn, and the wood is staying wet being outdoors and in the ground.
  23. Gorgeous mate!!!

    What a shame

    Ash is fantastic timber. It is what got me into milling. I have not found it splits too much at all when sawn. Applying any sort of paint or PVA to the endgrain before milling always helps reduce splitting.
