  1. I would say coppice and plant up. Might be worth trying to layer some of the smaller stuff and see if it takes root
  2. Yeah I found bigger stuff lays so much better late in the season-always risks running out if time though
  3. Woodland Craft Supplies - Newtown Billhook - £74.95 : Woodland Craft Supplies WWW.WOODLANDCRAFTSUPPLIES.CO.UK Woodland Craft Supplies Woodland Craft Supplies - Newtown Billhook - A Newtown pattern billhook, made to our exacting... I believe they might be making other patterns too

  5. Beautiful! I've only been in winter/spring, would love to get over when there is less snow too. Or ideally just move!!
  6. I've been a few times, love the Hardangavidda and wish I learnt Norwegian and move years ago!!
  7. I'm not sure where in the country you are but I plan to be in Geilo area in spring and happy to bring an axe or 2 back to UK

  14. I’ll rephrase that. We have milled Sequoia, not that exact tree 😉😂
  15. We have milled it. It was used for cladding on a school building next to where the tree stood
  16. Sorry I completely missed this! If you need a hand next season I am Oxford based and happy to quote
  17. I could spend some money there!!
  18. I think you just have to go with what you think is a fair day rate that you are both happy with, its definitely all a learning curve and I'm never sure if we are too cheap or too expensive!! I'd love to be milling in Sweden!!!!
  19. Im oxford/bucks border. Yeah vertical cuts ok if we go steady. Def need to keep blade sharp too
  20. I've got a 10/30 and it just fits in my lwb transporter with rails on the roof but its tight. I used to have it in trailer but I hated seeing it bounce about on potholed roads. Plus I can carry mill and tow avant now!
  21. I have the 10 with slabbing attachment but I'd like to know how much better the dedicated slabber is. They are strong money for sure
  22. Yeah I've done a few like that. End up clearing loads of nice straight stuff thats off line just to get to ropey hedge in the middle!!
  23. Hi I cut some waney cladding for a friend from some douglas. It had been down about 6 months before I cut it. He put it up a couple of days after cutting but is now saying it's going mouldy with black spots. It's just on the sap wood. Any thoughts on cause (I know its been wet) or what we can do do to remedy it. I'll try and get him to get a pic. Cheers
