Hi Mark, welcome to the forum. I have this ash that came in firewood I ordered last year - it certainly exceeds the sub 14 inch diameter stock I ordered!! The end in the photo is about 22 to 28 inches across (from memory) but the other end is only about 14 inches. I had a few rings cut of the end but would love to see it planked - would you be interested? It's in my friends yard at Consett. I can take some pics next week.

I know it does not answer you question but I just buy mine in from Darren Taylor at Morpeth, DM Taylor Firewood Supplies.
-
How far would you travel?? May have some in north east.
-
Hi there, what size timber do you need and would it be softwood?? We are based at Consett and may be able to help.

Freelander Commercial, very comfortable on the road and very capable off it.

Thought you would be along soon Difflock. Any pictures of the van - I know they are rare but I think it would be a nice alternative to a LR 110.

Me too Steve, give me square and chunky any day!

I've always liked them Mark. My favourite tail about them was the Argentinians took a lot of brand new ones to The Falklands which the UK forces then acquired and started using. After the conflict, Mercedes Benz apparently wrote to the UK government requested payment for them. The gov replied as they were war booty they would not be paying so MB took a huff and said they would not supply any spares parts then!!

Be very surprised indeed if there is 50 tons there. But still a good deal for wood stove people if they are local and have the right gear to process it.

If you are interested in WW2 and /or weapons you may like this interesting article on the rough costs of firearms used by the allies and axis forces in WW2. I was surprised the American weapons were not the cheapest given their mass production facilities. A rough guide of the costs of guns during WWII - WAR HISTORY ONLINE

It's not on Freeview JON, must be SKY

There was an article I read in January stating that inorder to receive grants from the FC, land owners had to have a grey management plan in place. Don't think it is law just a condition of any funding.

Ford sell the Ranger as a tipper direct from their dealers

Most of the ones I see Egg are so small you cannot read it as the vehicle passes you. I also remember a few people on here stating that condensation builds up between your panel and the magnetic sign and can lead to rust.

firewood kiln - How do you build one? does anyone know
rovers90 replied to Joy Yeomans's topic in Firewood forum
Ditto!! I know it is a derail but it's hard to forget a friends very poor experience of them -
Have a look at Replacement bumpers & winch-fitting kits: Landrover Discovery, Isuzu, Nissan Navara, Ford Ranger etc.

Don't think it would be that much JON. He knows a local guy with a fully restored one and I think he said that was worth £15 to £20k
-
Apparently they were offered £10k 6 years ago JON. He had a big heavy starting handle for it but did say you could use a cartridge.

Farmer who owns the site where my mates shed is was doing some retro farming this morning - 1947 Field Marshall, single cylinder 47hp, all original. His dad bought it in 1960 for £80 and it was used up until early 70s. Last time used in anger was 1974 for the potato harvest as apparently it was a wet harvest and it was the most powerful tractor they had!
-
Apologies Shane, I did not mean to be stroppy. I appreciate the advice people have posted since my last comment. I may move the item off my firewood pile now!
-
Have a look at the Vreten. I have the 10 ton version which you can retract/extend. The crane is very good, probably too big for the trailer. All up cost was £17500 plus vat. The Kesla was the same price but the dealer was much further away. Don't forget the grants are out now so if you can hang fire (as the decisions are not made until June) it may be worth applying for a grant.

So after 145 views, somebody tells me to put it on the Woodcraft Forum - which is where it is posted! Can no one even tell me what the growth is? Why its there? Is it unusual?
-
I have this piece of Silver Birch, approx 3m in length and it has this big growth round the middle. Would be worth anything to woody people???
