Ash / Sycamore or similar showing pip / burr
MaverickGR replied to MaverickGR's topic in Milling Forum
I am in Ashford, Kent but get about a bit with work or potentially can use a pallet network I think that walnut is going to be too dark for this project, but thankyou -
I have a client wanting me to turn some cylinders in an interesting timber for them to use as sidetables etc in a house. Does anyone have any ash/sycamore or something like that which is likely to show some interesting grain? I need to turn 500mm diameter by 300mm tall and 400mm diameter by 460mm tall. If you have more then I would potentially buy for stock etc. I have attached a couple reference images

Turned ash burr

I have read a US study which found that planing before drying reduced the amount of degrade that occurred. I haven't seen a commercial place do it though, so I guess overall you are better off losing due to the extra degrade and keeping the additional thickness.

Looking into doing this a bit more, I am thinking about doing it in a container rather than a lorry back. -Is there anything that you would do differently in this case? -Given the cost of insulated containers would you insulate it yourself? (100mm Celotex works out around £10 per sqm) -Anything else you would suggest? I am thinking of rails given how painfully large the stuff I have is. - Would anything have to change drastically if I went for 40ft?

I am in Ashford, Kent but as long as you can get it on a pallet then I can get it collected from you. Boxed hearts are fine.

Did you sell this in the end? I know one other who was contacting you about it but neither of us has heard anything. Would be good to know. Thanks

<p>Hi,</p>
<p> I would be interested in the walnut. I have a use for limbs which are over 300mm in diameter. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do you have a rough idea of dimensions of the first tree? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have you got an idea of what you are looking for for it?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My email is <a href="mailto:" rel="">[email protected]</a></p>

<p>Many thanks,</p>
<p> </p>

Beech Stick ready to collect North Warwickshire (Atherstone)
MaverickGR replied to Mark Cattell's topic in Milling Forum
I read somthing once about a veneer mill burying logs in order to induce spalting. Has anyone ever tried that? -
<p>Hi,</p>
<p> I would be interested in your walnut. How much are you looking for? I am in kent so would be looking to get a pallet network to pick it up if you could get them on one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Many thanks,</p>

I don't know much about this stuff but I thought Borax etc. only stop new wood worm getting in? So the ones inside are free to munch away but no new larva would get in? Someone told me about sticking it in the deep freeze for 3-4 days as the only way to make sure they are dead the whole way through. Were they pulling my leg?
