Hi

Anyone know of any walnut up for sale .Don't mind if its the tree or logs or planks, could be interested in anything

It would help if it's near the midlands but consider anything

sawdust

Interested in some of the heavily spalted if you intend getting rid of any

Cheers

Hope to see some pics if you get it milled

Totally agree with Steve go down the second hand route

If you find a local woodturning club some one usually knows of one for sale

I have a piece of walnut that size if youre interested

I'm in Hinckley just outside Leicester

Hi Ian

HI ian

Anybody attending this year. My favourite show of the year

Easy composites do a Glass cast resin. Can be used as a pouring resin to give a glass top. Brilliant stuff ,bubbles just disappear and it can be cast up u 16mm thick

Lost all my marbles

scared me there J glad it said deck had to read it twice

Hi Steve

I'm sure I have a log of Swedish whitebeam somewhere and what I think is sugar maple

Iv'e always preferred air dried mainly because I can't see the point of kiln drying to something like 8% and then putting it in the shed for it to take on moisture again, Plus air dried works better

Very interesting thread

ive found the best stuff to use is glasscast by easy composites

You can pour it on up to 15mm thick and leaves a finish like glass

1KG goes a long way

Attached is a picture of the resin in use but it doesn't show how glasslike it is

Couldn't get a mould in this country that fits the pen so used a piece of pvc tubing

Sierra type pen made from Alder cones and epoxy resin with gold mica powder Cast by myself

Theres a stuff in the states called Cactus Juice Designed to stabilise wood, Pretty expensive stuff though

Hi Ian

do you mind if I ask where you got your molds from , struggling to find any in this country

cheers

Thanks for the offer steve, but I need 12 ins wide and about 2.5 to 3 ins thick
