My money is not on paduak, I have some and Its nothing like that.also smells like strong incence when cutting. Checked an oftcut and it floats.
-
Could supply seasoned oak or green walnut, but not seasoned walnut. If there's a cutting list I could double check quantity. Boards would be wider than 180.

I saw 7 pieces of silver birch, for 5.99. My dozy sis in law bought them for a party she was having. She thought they would keep her new fire bowl in all evening. Let's say the evening was a little chilly. I told her seen as she's family ill sell her 8 ash logs for the same money for her next party.

I agree with Rob, 3/4 is too thin. If your building a kitchen yourself why do it with thin, weak, hard to join timber. For an average kitchen I would mill mostly 1 1/4" to plane down to around an 1" good for chunky doors and panels. Some 4 1/4" for feature legs etc and some 2 1/4" to add strength where needed. I would mill some at 1" and see how it goes this would be good for loose shelves etc. Make sure it goes beneath everything else when drying, and this will keep it straighter. James

Beech will make a beautiful kitchen,one of my favourite woods to work and i mill it when i get the chance. Not really sure why its hard to sell/out fashion as i prefer to oak for internal work. Could be a market in kitchen counter tops, but they take skill to make. If you really want to add value then best to mill it season it and turn it into product yourself.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. Douglas Adams and why were at it some more genius from the genius. It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. Douglas Adams The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair. Douglas Adams He was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher... or, as his wife would have it, an idiot. Douglas Adams Not all signatures but they should be!

Sweet truck buddy, nice work indeed. Spent a lot of time in and around trucks myself. Kinda jealous. Happy camping.

Heres a link to isuzus home page. Home Page - Isuzu D-Max Big advert NEW dmax rated at 3.5 tonne, memory was out on payload though its 1.136 against 110 which is 1.095. So it has a slightly higher payload than a 110 and the same towing capabilities. It also has a bed length of 2.3m against the 110 of 1.9m. It has combined mpg of 38.2 against 110 of 25.5. top speed 112 against 90mph. But most importantly it aint a landrover.

The new Isuzu dmax. 1.3 payload, 3.5 towing. An awesome machine with 5 year warranty. Cost about 10000+ less than a defender 90 too.

Always recommended to air dry oak well before kilning. Impatience will lead to a large percentage of loss. Also still a little warm for milling oak. A few more weeks and it should be cooler.

I just thought i also have a 7or8ft. Piece of 6"round laburnum that may interest you. Struggling to think of a use for it. Was thinking of bucking it and turning down to coasters.

RdR is the best game ever made. The latest tomb raider is also very good. Just bought a cheap second hand copy of hitman absolution, hoping its good but never played a hitman game before. Don't really like war games though. That kinda rules out 70% of games for me.

Hey wd, it shouldn't be that hard mate. Either they are cemented or siliconed together. I did. One before that was screwed together and screw heads covered in cement. Check this out but mostly be forceful. If siliconed, cut as much as you can with Stanley first. If there's two bends, there should be plenty if room for manouvere? James

I have some nice yew you may be interested in, but also I'd be interested in buying some arrows. What kinda price do they sell for? James

Steve, I've been thinking, you might enjoy a little test, I have a rather large selection of tropical woods and rare Europeans, maybe I could give you a little pop quiz, and just maybe, you maybe interested in a little negotiation as part payment for our upcoming tuition? Lots of tree Id practice threads, but not many lumber id practice threads. Impressed with the knowledge by the way!

That's not paticularly descriptive. Are you trying to choose between the two for your own project? If so what is the project and what related skills,access to materials do you have?
-
What sort of thing do you want to know? Im happy to help. James

Me dad bought one a couple years ago and has used it ever since, he aint a pro, but house is fully heated with wood and he cuts some for elderly neighbours, so it does get some use. Dont think you can change angle to 10deg for milling,but all told its a good machine. Cant knock the job it does. James

What about Goncalo alves?
-
Don't know what it is, but it ain't cocobolo imo.
-
Tables are stainless and well waxed so will be fine.
-
Thanks for that the two J's, I always take it easy with my thicknesser so hopefully will be ok. will post some pics from the day. James

I've got an awesome book on stick making. Will check title and author and post later.

Hey guys, Im doing a show on saturday teaming up with jeremy(arbwork) and his lt40. Were planning to do something similar to what rob did at the jonesies show recently. Making some picnic benches out of some oak that jeremy will be milling on the day. Im going to make the legs/frames out of some mostly seasoned oak i have lying around so the green will be the bench and tabletops in 9" boards. I will plane and oil the frames previous to the show, but my question is. I would like to plane and oil up the tabletops and benches on the day with a portable thicknesser, accepting that the finish wont be the same as seasoned oak, is there any point in doing this? What are peoples experinces/thoughts? Thanks for the help James
