mate the two pics you posted are definetly oak and cedar no doubt,,,but theres a massive amount of people who know there woods and know when they see oak,,,and as Ive milled over 20 large logs of cedar,,,(all types) in the last six months,,I know that your bits are oak,,, heres a bench I made from cedar,,and a oak table ,,2 totally different looks,,,,
-

delabodge replied to chrisgilltreesurgery's topic in General chat
I have a lad who works 7hrs a day converting my arb waste into roughly 7 cubic bags of £80 a bag logs ,,,sometimes more,,,depending on his hangover,,lol,,,how can that not be viable?,,what else would I do with it? and believe me ,,only the waste wood goes to logs,,,,? -
fair enough mate, just trying to let the wood speak for its self,,,,whole bench is elm,,,

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,,,
-
hi matt yes,,Ive a workshop I rent,,slowly built up my tools,,and machinery,,got a nice 24" planner which have restored,,which makes life so much easier,,,
