I should have said that I can collect in an estate care, Suburu Legacy.

Hiya Us axe and knife carvers love fresh felled birch and fruit woods, as do pole lathe turners. The problem is getting a steady supply as once the wood is a few months old it is to dry to carve. For us carvers some crooks are very welcome....
-
Hi all I have run out of carving wood but I am hoping that yesterdays wind means that there is some very green birch about? Does anyone have any? I am in Bicknacre, near Danbury, near Chelmsford. I carve this sort of thing, with axe and knife.
-
As usual very nice
-
That is quality work, with beautiful wood.
-
Thanks :-) The shape will change as the wood seasons, but I like that :-)
-
I love those, the hint of colour really works. How long are they?
-
Hi Geoff Blimey, that is very kind buddy, thanks. I wil get back to you when I have spoken to Tony.
-
Ta muchly Difficult to say how long as I did bits over a week, a good few hours though

La la la la la la.... can't hear you..... la la la

Don't mention scorps, I managed to leave it of my "must have" list.... so far But as you have mentioned it, how is it in use?

Hiya I have a load of Nics blades; A drawknife, 30mm clip point, Twca Cam, a left and right handed spoon knives, and a 70mm carver. They are all a joy to use, hold their edge well and all very, very sharp. On my wants list is Nics axe and adze, a roughing out spoon blade, a 100mm carver and now he is making gouges..... Much of what Nic makes is not on his website yet. When Nics blades arrive they are super sharp and I have started using his sharpening material as it is the best way to sharpen the blades. Although they stay sharp with just stropping for ages. Sharpening - Nic Westermann

Green birch is a joy to use IMHO
-
Thanks buddy
-
OK, I have no idea of value so I will get some advice from a buddy that does, then get back to you.
-
That makes sense, but initially I just want to cut up small offcuts from my carving into holders for tealights, jewellery etc. So a small bandaw would work for that
-
Hiya It would have to be a small one as my budget is in pennies, more than pennies will have to be wrestled out of my wife who has just realised how little I earned last year :-(
-
Would that include a bandsaw?
-
-
Another 149 of them :-)
-
Nice, I'm jealous about the band saw I have had one on my "want" list for ages.
-
how about a sumach spoon that I carved Hand carved wooden spoons
-
Thanks, 38mm it is. Now where did I put that sumach...
