    Only goes through the top 6". I bought flex that looks like rope and stuck it to the side of the oak with hot glue.

    Made something similar for a xmas present

    Pics of the slabs please.

    £250[emoji33] Looks like you robbed the tree surgeon not him robbing you.

    In my opinion as it is it is worth nothing. Probably you pay to have it removed. Its too big. Sycamore is a very low demand sawn lumber and its a pretty ugly tree. The only way this is worth anything is if someone takes the risk of Milling it. And that is far easier in situ with a lucas or alaskan. If it were mine or free and very local to me I would mill it for sure. If i had to pay for the chance to take the risk? Any more than £50 and I wouldn't. On the other hand turning that tree into logs is also a right pita so not loads of money to be made there either

    You won't be able to cut an accurate 12x 4 with a chainsaw with a 14" bar. You could only free hand it. Invest in and learn how to use the right kit or as above, phone a professional.

    I'm with this. Could get some cracking big Slabs out of the middle of that if you get it right. Much easier to get the mill on once you have taken the top of to.

    I've got one. Very useful. Never used a top brand battery saw too compare to. I don't fell really. Only mill and make. But for light firewood, oak framing, fencing, demolition and in the workshop is all I use.

    I have a tulip tree in my garden. It's nice. It also hasn't fallen over or given me asthma. When I woke up a few days ago and looked out the window there was a very large fox stood under neath it.

    It's on mm2 not diameter. You can measure the width but then half it, times or by itself and then times by 3.14. Best you can do is either remove one of your 13 amp sockets and fit a 16 or 32 amp socket or put a spur of one of you 13 amp sockets and fit a 16 or 32 amp socket. I've got a Parker invertor arc welder. Very cheap but pretty good off a 16 amp socket. To be fair I usually use my mates mig which is in the same workshop.

    Looks fake in many ways. Would like to see in real life

    It just adds character to the old boards. Where they expensive?
  16. muttley9050
    Don't look like worm holes to me. Just ware, staining. Possibly reaction to ferrous metal. Ie someone using a grinder nearby and spraying it
  17. muttley9050
    Second that.

    Threads like this are the reason I seldom post on here anymore. It's just a nice guy asking for some help /advice not a lecture. If you dont want to help don't post. If I was anywhere near you Wilde I'd gladly have a walk round the woods with you. Looks like an interesting place. Good luck with it.

    Can't say how awesome that is! Top job.

    Need more seasoned ash than i have to finish a job. Anybody got any for sale or know somewhere to get it that isn't ridiculous prices. Sizes isn't too important as all needs machining into 115mm X 10mm boards. Closer to Milton Keynes the better. Cheers

    Unlikely to ever be a prize winner. Why don't you just replace it yourself.
  23. muttley9050
    Don't know at the moment. Guy thought it was oak. Now he knows it isn't, and I can't be sure what it is, then not sure how useful it's going to be. Certainly won't build the porch he wanted to build. If he does want to mill it I'll keep you all updated.

    Would the bark on that be quite corky and thick, because this tree wasn't so much?
  25. muttley9050
    No idea Steve. Could be but I have no clue how to recognise one or the wood characteristics.
