Cool, should be with you towards the end of next week, just want to give the paint plenty of time to cure before I re oil it.

Nice work pat. But when you put photos of yourself up, it ruins my illusion caused by your avatar! -
Very sought after wood if there good enough for saw Logs.
-
I thought it looked treated, but thought it may be cherry.
-
Nice looking chair bud. What timber is it?
-
I think of all the photos of things I've seen that arbtalkers have made, this is my favourite. Incredible work, makes me think of those childhood times make believing the day away. Wish i had the skills on a chainsaw to attempt something like that. It's magical.
-
Would love to mate. Lets set a date.
-
I'm not surprised there screaming at those prices. Bit more than half price i reckon.
-
Sorry doubled one of pics. This is second burr
-
Level in pics is 2ft for scale. Not best pics coz phone camera lens got scratched, but you will get the idea. First 3 is one burr, 2nd 3 is another burr. James.
-
To be clear these burrs are very old and dry. Not sure how old as I bought a pallet load at auction. Some are better than others, I will take pics of biggest ones and you can choose which one and make me an offer. I think I will be at my sisters on Saturday 31st if all goes to plan, haven't discussed this with her yet though. Were just passing that day.
-
Just painted. That's the way we decided would be most accurate and affordable. To carve by hand perfectly would of taken too long.
-
Agreed, if u ain't getting paid or your not confident of legalities or work, why do it.
-
Hi Steve, couldn't work out how to pm photos so here's the sign. Just needs drilling(which I stupidly forgot to do before painting) and one more coat of oil. What do you think? Photos are a little rubbish sorry. James

It's a nice little village mate, seem to spend too much time there lately, as they bought a house there in a state of disrepair. They seem to think that having a builder as a brother it would magically get fixed. Seems they were largely right too. :screwy:
-
What size do u want it, and when do you need it for, I got several large oak burrs, and me sis lives in chew stoke. Will be seeing her in a few weeks, so u could potentially pick one up from her house at the end of month ish. James
-
Like it.
-
Just noticed your reply sorry, what kinda cedar you have? Been after a bit and no joy locally. To be honest I'd love to take the lot off you, but in reality, I ain't the cash this month. I may give you a nod in a month or so to see if its still available. Cheers James.

Is that for real?
-
Our oven was named the gruffalo by the kids here, its made of cob not clay but same thing really. It's got a tail and arms that form two benches either side. That's the beauty of an organic material. As clive says your not limited to the forms you can create and can let your imagination run wild. I guess it depends on the setting, a crisp brick oven would look out of place here, but where Eddie is and on top of that fab frame it will look great. I do like to avoid using cement where ever I can though.

There's all sorts of different conttracts you can use when renting out a house. More commonly the owner would have responsibility for those decisions. Sometimes the tenant will have the authority to do what it likes with house and garden. These cases ate rare. I would always try to check with owner before commencing work.. If the tenant is posing as the owner, you can not be held responsible for any "damage" done.
-
That's a gentelmenly offer, trouble is you would then have to bring me back! Gunna fire the saw up today and get rid of the ivy that's covering the nicer one so I can get an idea of weight better. Might just cut to 8ft and hang it out the door. We will discuss nearer the time. Things you should sort in the mean time, make a door, arch top and thick, elm or something similar is good. Obviously wide enough to get your chosen size pizza in plus an inch. We will use it as a former when building. Get down the dump and try to to get bricks from old storage heaters for base.

treehouses : ethics of drilling into mature trees..
muttley9050 replied to rsk's topic in General chat
They were using steel eveywhere in that build, there balls were made of it! -
£1200, thats unreal. Our oven cost about 6 hours work and £10. Wonder how much cheese i could buy for £1190. Im really quite jealous that mine aint got Jamie Oliver stamped on the side though!

treehouses : ethics of drilling into mature trees..
muttley9050 replied to rsk's topic in General chat
Did some workon a treehouse years ago, andused gl's. There an incredible design and take a serious load. There designed around the growth of the tree and give it space move and grow. There ridiculously expensive and the necessary custom drill bits are even dearer. Because there so strong,with careful design you can use very few. dont underestimate the size of drill(definately corded) you will need. Anyone who drills into a tree has to accept the fact that its damage,but with care and planning this canbe minimised. You will find some interesting reading here. So you want to install a Garnier limb? | James
