Hi All, It has been nearly 2 years since i ahve had chance to do any milling but am getting back into it and am looking at trying to source some hardwood logs, mainy log locally this weekend, What is a fair price for good oak milling log around 600-800mm in diameter and for the odd 1200 /1300 diameter log. (costs in hoppus feet ideally) also what sort of money per hoppus foot / lump sum for a cherry log, 2ft 8" wide, no rot at all, straight and around 18ft long. thanks in advance, Ps any guide on costs for ash, and odd special sticks like a big rare elm etc would be appreciated Regards, John

Hi All, Dont suppose anybody knows of a lucas or peterson mill for sale with a slabbing attachment? Or a wide capacity band mill. if so please message me, Regards John

I am going to sell my older mill setup, its a double headed mill think it is 50" cuttain capacity, i have 2x 075's, one runs really well, the other did but now does not start, there is plenty of compression there just feels like lack of vaccume for fuel, so i bought a 051 that is really tidy and ran the mill with that. done a lot of work with the 075's, new sprockets, exhausts, av mounts, all genuine stihl parts. Originally was going to get the 075 going and sell the mill with 2x 075's and sell the 051 seperatly, but willing to let it all go as i have not had time to look at it in a year if anybody is interested.

Hi Mark, I have a fair bit of monkey puzzle that has been cut and air drying covered up for a about 5 years Im in South Cumbria, We are going to get it out in the next week or so as we need to make some window boards from it if you are interested. I would also be interested in the company details of the guys who do bulk resin orders. Regards, john

Hi again, a few months ago i put a post on requesting oak boards for a table, typically a the spec of the table has changed and nothing has been mentioned by the clients until yesterday. Early New Year I will be looking for 3 or 4 number kiln dried rough sawn oak planks to make a table with, small to medium shakes in the ends is fine as they can be filled with reisin. Planks need to be able to be finished at 40mm thick and 400 to 500mm wide, Ideally between 2.8 and 3.4m long. please let me know if anyone has anything, location and an idea of cost for supply only. PM me if you feel more comfortable. Regards, John

Any advice greatfully received. John

Hi all, does anybody have any well seasoned / preferably kiln dried oak boards available or got any contacts for people who do. I require enough to make a table 1.2m / 4ft wide after jointing and need to be a descent 3.4 / 3.6m long (10 feet) preferably English oak but if i have to buy European any descent stockist would be appreciated (though would rather support British) Regards, John

Ok bud. I'll make time next evening or so.
