    Really clever use of the natural shape of the tree. Will be googling that name.

    Great find David, the thread you're thinking of is http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/picture-forum/27645-anyone-else-got-hungry-tree-pic.html?highlight=hungry+trees

    Great work, the piece in the background looks interesting. Very crisp!

    WOW, incredible mate! How many hours went into that?
  6. wisewood
    Ha, yes it could be mate. Here's the cheshire cat grin, just having some fun and making the most of a kid free afternoon:thumbup1:

    Wife's having a mad hatters tea party for her birthday this wkend, so I thought I'd Quickly knockout the hat. Took about 5 min, won't bother making it pretty as the wood's rotten but should help set the scene:001_smile:

    Thanks for clearing that up, I was convinced it was a wren 'cos there's quite a few flitting about. Or maybe a lot of young robins:confused1:

    Found this today at the base of a larch. Not too clued up on birds but my guess is a wren. Not sure if it's a youngster or not.

    Hi Gary, shame it's poplar but as it's big and free:biggrin: I'm wanting it. I've a few probs to iron out and by no means do I want to mess you about. How do I get away and where do I put it, postage stamp front garden may give rise to neighbour issues:001_smile: I will try to pull some favours locally but can anyone give me a ball park figure for hauling it? Cheers Si

    Is there any big stuff in there?

    Cheers Rob, Consider it sold:thumbup:

    Think I know the game, known as 'split the kipper' up this way.
  15. wisewood
    Yes I've seen this method too, cutting laterally with a curved former. I'm still favouring the "jigsaw" style as I think it would be a quicker setup with greater flexibilty.

    Hi Rob, thanks mate,I'll look him up.

    Hi, anyone working around Formby,Southport, Ormskirk areas. Looking for some clean woodchip to surface my girls new play area at their nanna's. Probably only need a ton, obviously don't want anything with hawthorn etc in it:001_rolleyes: If you can help pm me, cheers, Si

    Great tree Gerrit:thumbup: Some how reminds me of a clown.

    This is similar, turns chainsaw into a jigsaw. Chainsaw Attachments, Chainsaw Mills, Alaskan Sawmill, Log Building and Timber Framing Tools - Chainsaw Attachments/Accessories - Magard Ventures Ltd., Canada. There's a pretty weird sanding attachment too on here:001_huh:

    Does anyone remember an episode of Grand designs where some green oak carpenters cut gentle curves into beams. There was a bar/tube about the size of a pringles tube bolted to the chainbar. The cuts were freehand but the bar kept the cut steady and a constant 90 degrees. I've attached a rough sketch to help explain what I'm rattling on about. Has anyone seen or tried it before?
  21. wisewood
    far more sophisticated:lol:

    News to me, they've been around a long while. Could be thinking of the Lancelot ones, they're actually chainsaw chain! Popular in US, but I'd bet arbortech is safer. Yeh, it would be a big bowl, maybe too big for your morning cereal but the kind of thing that people will covet.
  24. wisewood
    Hi , I'm based in Formby and would be interested in any big diameter logs, ideally about 3 foot or wider for carving, but will consider anything close to that. Cheers, Simon
  25. wisewood
    It would still make a great bowl even without a lathe. Rough it out with chainsaw and scorp out freehand. Could treat yourself to an arbortech disc for your grinder.
