Ouch >I don't mind paying a fair price for burrs nut £150 is a lot How are you ever supposed to make it pay.You would need to turn that into something like £1000 of stock to recuperate that outlay

messed about for 3 weeks making it but it was my first and i haven't steam bent anything in 40 years Hopefully next one should take half thjat time Interestingly most books etc say that you can't steam bend kiln dried timber..You can and most articles say to leave wood in steamer for 1 hour per inch of thickness.double that and add your age

Latest project Rocking chair all made in Elm (supplied by Big J ) most of the chair has been ok .Spindles for the back are tapered and steam bent to shape,but the arms are proving to be a real pain 3 two ins by 1/2 ins slices of Elm steam bent and glued together.Struggling to find a glue that can cope

slackbladder replied to ash_smith123's topic in Firewood forum
I visit quite a few woodyards and it is almost impossible to but british wood,even the ash comes from France.What is happening to our timber I pride myself on only using british timber and hope it is a good selling point but it ain't easy to find -
how about using a large dowel something like 2".Into the base and top
