I see the arb show is coming up in june, and have a few questions if you dont mind. As i have said im currently looking into buying a mill, iwill also need a chainsaw mill if i go down the bandsaw mill route and a powerful chainsaw, My question is if i wait till the show are there likely to be mills there i can see in use, will i get a better deal at the show on things like chainsaws and ppe etc, and finally anyone any idea what its likely to cost to get in. Thx for the help. James

Thanks Treesuggs:thumbup:

Me too, but dont be suprised if they do, id be tempted to leave in the round and make them in 3 years or so.

Redmoose is right. Worth much more if you put some legs on it.

But that figure may be hard to achieve, if i had a buyer id start at about 150 i think and go from there. Had a piece of luck a coupleof months ago when an aged gun stock maker decided to clear out his stock, mostly over 25 years old, but couldnt find a buyer. There were 3large black walnut boarsd like yours at 2" thick from a crotch fork several stock pieces of tropical including coco bolo, afromosia, paduak, brazilian rosewood, lignum vitae, olive, blackwood, ebony and loads more, He wantd rid coz it wasall over his dining room and missus was giving him grief. I had £250 inmy pocket and couldnt afford more, he accepted this and i was a happy man. I dont usually buy any lumber thats not native but made exception here. My wood store is now very healthy.

I would suggest this board would be worth £100-150.

An old chap told me to chuck the trap in a pond overnight to erradicate smell on it. Guess This would work, I wouldnt keep my birds behind anything but chainlink, 6ft high with a 1ft chicken wire protrusion at top. See loads of fox prints in the snow round the run, but they never get in. Touching wood right now!

Hi simon, welcome to arbtalk. Have included a picture of a design of bench(not mine) that i have made similar inthe past. Easy to make from planked wood and no fancy joinery. If you can make me a bench like picture 2, ill give you good money for it, James

Spec means i need lumber between 1 inch and 1.5 inch thick. supplier is chiltern green timber co. A guy called steve who has an oak and larch woodland and a lucas mill. Nice chap. suprised hes not on here, might mention it to him.
-
Thanks for the reply Blaise, Unfortunately i found a regular supply of seasoned larch from a larch woodland about 15miles from me(wendover). Having said that your butt looks quite nice and you should decide on a use for it, its great for any outside project like benches, fences, garden buildings etc, so decide on a use for it and have some fun. Imo its a very underrated wood with a beautiful hue and grain, which should be used more regularly. Thanks again and happy milling. James

Went to one a few years ago, saw a good condition stihl saw(about 35cc from memory). Asked the guy what he wanted for it, and he said he bought it off his brother to do some limbs in garden but he couldnt get it running and thought hed messed up mix and seized it. I opened fuel tank and saw it was full of chain oil and vice versa. Paid him£5 for it. Took it home and cleaned tanks and carb etc, new fuel and it fired right up. Give it to me dad to replace his old beast. Lovely. Sometimes you do get lucky.

morning, im thinking of buying the lm pro sawmill from logosol, just wondering if anyones had experience dealing with this company in the past andwhat the feedback is. Thanks James

I wouldnt use yew for chopping boards. not worth the risk.

Completely agree, go for it, gloss paint or pva on the ends. paraffin wax is the traditional material used i believe, but a right faff. Cherry is a beautiful wood but have always found it to be very sussceptable to warping and moving. Bought one piece from a farmer milled into 8x8,he told me it was 6 years old, Thought id resaw into one 8x4 and two 8x2s, let if finish drying and make a table. Made first cut in middle and watched the two bits bend like bananas in front of my eyes. I cut them in half and still have them stacked. Will get round to the table one day. Happy milling. james
