    How Green?

    The rafters will not pull in anything as the wood only noticably shirinks in diameter, not length. Some clever folk were about in them olden days. Quote. Rover is on the money with this. If you want to slow dry green turned wood,burry it in its shavings & leave it to dry slowly under the lathe.

    Thats a bit of a beast,I bet they chomp their way through a fair bit of foilage. Great pics too!
  18. Must admit I dont like cutting big upright lumps from a mewp,too much to go wrong,but looks like Daniel had it all under control.
  19. I would have mewped it,but then I have one so no hire charges,I dont quite get why it 'should' have been climbed,or am I missing something? I would maybe have gone for smaller pieces & sod the rigging, (unless its a sensitive area). What matters is getting the job completed with no surprises,and with a good time/profit ratio in my books,each to their own prefered method.
  20. Hi Mark,welcome to the forum,I work in your neck of the woods most weeks. Nice work you have done there by the way!
