    hey mr bell, i saw you had a few woodpickers chasing you so i left you alone regarding the h chestnut, but i will happily take some wood off you anytime, cheers, chris

    ps apparently, the chap who bought it is at a loss with what to do with it, as he doesn't think any chainsaw is big enough to cut the stem (it would with a 6" bar), so has enquired about getting a digger to come and bury it!!:lol:, apparently, he was quoted over £400 to do it! there has got to be over 4cube of (solid) timber there yet, and i would probably get permission to take it but i can't think how i get it out, any good ideas? this is one of those things he should have been thinking about that before he started bidding eh?

    not sure about that though, there were some awsome spiral fractures on boughs over two foot in diameter and there were broken limbs all the way to the top. i could be wrong, but i was convinced on inspection that the timber was f***ed, and the cone in the stem went quite a way in untill disapearing into a black mush resembling the structure of a wasp nest

    i stopped by the other day and met aguy who lives across the road from the tree. he had done a bit of research and he claims the fungus was not merrip, was grifola frondosa ? who is right or wrong

    ok, judging by the lack of response, i guess that's not an option. ive benn chatting with a friend about buying a truck full (26 tonne) between us , as we may have the space to store and slash it. i called (chantler?) timber and he said he could only get oak to me at the moment, and as its a long haul, it may cost £45 per tonne. is there scope for charging that bit extra if you can tell the customers it's just seasoned oak?, i guess we would be looking at £110- 120 per cube otherwise, does any one know a reputable supplier more local?

    hi guys, as a small building and joinery contractor, i am, at the moment in need of something usefull to do untill the business picks up again. does anyone know where i can pick up a load of freshly felled timber for proccesing into next years firewood? i am hoping that, rather than pay for it, i could ring it, clear the site, and generally make myself and my boy useful in return. it may be an impertinent question, i'm just getting bored at home (just done the tax return)and i like to keep my apprentice busy. we spent two days filling a (huge) log store i built for a customer recently, but i agreed to take a quarter of all i processed, and shot myself in the foot a bit, but hey ho

    fact or opinion?? ie, how do you know as i don't for sure. must we keep inventing the wheel? if human knowledge was not cumulative, why do people have phobias such as snakes, spiders etc? it's because of cumulative knowledge, a safety feature hard wired into the soul (opinion:001_rolleyes:)

    natural selection?, no, not really... symbiosis?, no, still not convinced... life will find a way, just as death will, all that is not one, is the other and is becoming one peace

    thats why you guys do the big wood and i do the 3x2:biggrin:

    :w00t::w00t:made some enquires today to see if i could lighten the load and take some of that beech away.. apparently, the landowner was trying to get someone to buy the timber for furniture making etc, but was told the merrip has made it useless, he then sold it off as firewood for £300!!! I don't know too much about how things work in this industry, but i run a small building and joinery firm an i recon that even with the right tools and a chipper, someone is going to need a crane to take some of it away and there must be at least two days of hard labour there for at least two men, so i will take a guess at about £600 just to move the beggar! ok, so there's a lot of wood there, but £900 just to get a wet lump of timber?

    did anyone see it? missed it as i was at my daughters trampoline competition:001_rolleyes:

    ive had a pair of these for a while, although they are not as breatheable as a pair of berghaus etc, they keep you dry and you can run a saw through them or tear them on thorns and branches all day long and you won't cry cos you've just lost £120's worth of trouser:001_cool:,
