You could try Clive at Winston woodcraft. He's delabodge on here.
-
I thought what Clive had recently was coast redwood, but ill check.
-
Thanks guys and thanks eddy. There definately wellys. Here's a pic of the relatively small poorly one. We have 5 other much healthier larger ones.

Imported lots of tools from the USA when dollar was weak. Pros and cons to it. Bought a dewalt 18v 9 pack. Pros dirt cheap, got sent in the dewalt box so obvious, but no import tax charged, Cons, takes a while to get here, warranty is invalid, one of the tools needed new motor after 2 months. Cost of shipping back to states was too much and no warranty here. So bought new motor and fixed myself. Easy to get ripped off. Bought a paticular plastering trowel I wanted that wasn't available here. Got stung for tax, really expensive. Would I buy large tools like first example, yes if cheap enough. Would I buy low value. Probably not as worked out very expensive.

Cool, im busy today and tomorrow catering for an event were holding and I've a couple of markets on the weekend, but I believe next week is free except for a door I need to make and Thursday evening is busy. You at work all week next week?
-
Confirms my fears. Thanks. So cladding out, but i suppose I'd get away with chunky garden furniture if it wasn't too long?
-
There's so much of it in this tree, it would be hard to narrow it down. But cladding and outdoor furniture as a start.

Ok so, the reason I'm interested in which redwoods I have is that in a previous thread, someone stated that sequoia was a better, more durable, stronger timber and that a welly was brittle in comparison. What are others views experiences on this?
-
But how much of that ground work was part of the planing consent. You actually have to start what there allowing you or telling you to do. If its all work around building but not related to the planning then its not started. If this work is related to the planning then it is started. What's the problem with reapplying anyway. Should be quite cheap and an almost dead cert.

Ok thanks guys, that sort of helps? With the names at least! We got six quite large ? In our wood. I'm pretty sure there wellys, but when I check my id book the foliage on ours seems to be somewhere between the two in the book. One of them is quite poorly and I'm thinking it may have to come down at some point. I'm kinda hoping(on saw log terms) that its a sequoia but I'm not convinced. I'll get some pics of it tomorrow and post for an expert opinion. The bark is very thick though, never punched it though, maybe ill give that a go tomorrow too?
-
You able to transport a board like that to my place?
-
Got a point there Dan. A little offcut would save some damage.
-
Nice work josh. The milled face on the bottom lefft would make some lovely book matched boards.
-
I'll upload a picture of the similar trolley that I use when I remember to take one. It may inspire.you.
-
What's the best/easiest way to be sure if your looking at a sequoia or a welly? Also is there a way when looking at a saw log or plank? Many thanks in advance. James
-
This is an interesting thread, I'm thinking of buying a medium self powered towable processor in a few months when I find some woodland to buy. Wondering if anybody had any recommendations or advice to give. Thanks James

Problem with most teak oil is it doesent give uv protection. I would seriously consider some osmo uv protection oil. It really is the business. What sort of legs you fitting? Let me know when you got time to play and we can arrange something.
-
IME, a start is a start when it comes to planning. But unless you want exactly what they wanted I.e. same footprint, same materials to build with etc. Then you have to reapply anywaY. Beauty is if it was granted for them and your not unreasonable in your demands then it likely will for you too.
-
Nice work ed. Looking good. Give us the nod if you wanna come up here one evening soon.got a bit more time on me hands these days. Certainly looks like you need a bigger garden for that ladder though!
-
Don't do arb work but I'm the same really, long day or short day is the same. Do freebies for regulars of quick jobs, mostly landlords with dozy tenants, but if a job takes half a day, I charge a day for it. If others want to run around trying to do two jobs in a day to get there money, let em.
-
I think he was saying he would charge that for the chipper?
-
If you get a preler and you have a supply of spruce, them its worth investigating the tipi pole market in your area as there can be ok money in it!
-
Not paticularly knowledgeable on the subject my self, but I do know a pal of mine paid 600 for an oldish one a couple of years ago. However I have no idea if this is a good or bad price! It was also a pointer too.
-
The ash was naturally dark, not as olive as some I have though. Don't do stain as a rule. The yew was certainly quicker to make. The misses has her eye on it so put an £80 price tag on it and if it don't sell before Christmas its hers. The only reason the back was oak was because it needed to be 18mm and all the pine I had was too cupped! Some people seem to like the waney rustic look and some don't. The ash board was that width anyway so couldn't think of much else to do with it. Did a market today and every piece I sold except one was charecterless, then other days all the character pieces sell first. Nowt as strange as folk.

Nice work tommy.
