  5. hi matt, most of the stuff i make is from stuff I`ve milled a few yrs ago, and is now nicely air dried, but some of the stuff like the elm,was bought from Big J on here,,he kiln drys it,,,and it can be quite uneven,hence buying the planer,,,I can face one side up and then thickness it,,,the benches vary in price depending on the wood,,,cedar and Oak round about £250 -£300 and the yew and elm ones £350ish,,,

  19. some great tips from big j ,rob and agg221,,really is a good deal of valuable experience on here,most it through trial and error, from my experience i wouldnt bother with the chestnut, but the maple is worth a go,,,be tempted to metal detect it though, as all the boundary ones Ive milled,,usually have fence parts in them, Made some benches out of larch last yr,,grain looks nice and its quite durable,,
