MS390 has started to play up.Starts ok after about 6 pulls which is usual But then as soon as I try to give it revs it just dies,changed the fuel filter as I thought it was fuel starvation but it made no difference,just the same with or without the chain and bar on Gradually got worse over the last few weeks any help gratefully received

Hi Steve Might able able to help with the Service tree ( sorbus domestica )

Really complicated problem,because if you get some timber at a really good price and you sell stuff cheap it's very hard to justify putting the prices way up when you have to spend on more expensive timbers. A lot of the time price seems irrelevant,i went through a stage of reducing my prices right down and didn't sell any more,put my prices back up and sold more,you just can't tell See you soon Dan

Looks like it might have rot in it I have had them before where they are sound on the outside but rotten inside where the hole is Otherwise a nice burr but too far for me

Careful I experimented by putting 4 boards of Yew on ebay with no reserve 6ft long and 12ins wide and from 1 to 2 ins thick ,just did it to test the water and see what they fetched £6.51 for all 4 Its a difficult market at the minute

Hi I am a member of coombe abbey woodturners and next year we will be holding a Craft/Wood show.With emphasis on the wood side we are looking for exhibitors and demonstrators to attend the show want to come along and sell your ware send me a PM We could do with a chainsaw carver and a Timber Miller. I doubt if we will be able to pay for demonstrations but most of our proceeds got to support the air ambulance this event will be held in the grounds of Coombe Abbey in Coventry and will be just a one day event Coombe abbey will be able to supply the timber for milling and carving I know it sounds cheeky to not pay for demonstrators but it's all for a good cause ps Coombe Abbey woodturners are a non profit making charity

I would be looking in the bottom of the pond ,something odd there with the bubbles coming up Can't see it being the oil it would float on the top what sort of filtration does the pond have if it was sediment from the bottom of the pond you would smell it a mile away
