WADKIN

I have to ask why you are planking the walnut? there is hardly any colour to speak of as it typical of most of them. Why not flock it to a turner and make some money towards your mill. Here is a couple of images of what good english walnut looks like and wirth planking.http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh283/Wadkin1/w175.jpg have fun with the yew.

I take it that Shrek and Ooops are the double act on here then. Every forum has a few.

Like i said it is the humour that attracted me. It was timber not grass i was referring to:001_smile: Anyway if anyone is interested in selling butts or providing leads thats fine just send me some details. Other than that if you are in the process of or about to plank up some butts of whatever and were wondering who best to target with the resulting timber then i am happy to help. I myself really stick to figured butts, burrs etc of a cross section of species. Nice try with the palm, you might catch yourself a woodturner:001_smile:

Hi guys It is another bloody newbie i am afraid. I stumbled across the forum whilst surfing and the humour seemed on a par to my own so i figured it seemed like a good idea to sign. A very brief introduction to myself. I run a small specialist timber supply business. I deal mostly in the supply of various timbers to the musical trade in fairly low volume. I buy and source timber in the around and import figured maples etc from the states. Thats all that said. Anyhow if i can be of use to anyone here with advice with marketing their timber or advice on the conversion of it making it more appealing to the end user i am happy to offer free advice. Over the last few years more and more mills are closing throughout the country and a lot of small mobile units are trying to fill the gap left. Unfortunatly these sometimes suffer due to the lack of knowledge of knowing what to cut for who to make it most appealing. Anyway if i can help or you are looking to sell something that is rather special then please get in touch. I do on occasion have the need for teams to remove butts for me so maybe we can help each other. Andy
