i pop in from time to time. not got a saw and never ended up getting into milling as it turned out, stuck to my wood turning.
-
here sometimes mate. i've got a bit of Pagoda arriving on tuesday hopefully. get this stuff to any turners if it hasn't been done yet.

the fella at vanguard helped me out and did me a deal as his van was empty on the way to a job in london. forgotten how unused to lifting i am these days.
-
all sorted now, thanks people...
-
thanks for that, i'll give him a call to see if he can help.
-
nobody?

some of the most recent sets i've done. these will be some of the last pins for a while as i've no dry timber left. i like this one, first a perfectly normal set of 10"x 5" with 4 1/2" Genuine Lignum balls. then the tiny set which are for toddlers, 6"x 3" with 3 " Genuine Lignum balls. they have gone to the national trust property "Trerice" in Newquay i think. the customer wanted a case with this set.
-
the next two i had to use some of my genuine lignum that i've bought over the years. this log was about 1m by 10-11" diameter and weighed 75kg. the block i cut off weighed 22.5kg and the finished 10 3/16" ball weighed 11.4kg.
-
the next job was to recreate this big sucker, a 10" skittle ball. i managed to turn a 7 7/8" from a bit of Argentine Lignum i had bought on ebay. the ball weighed 5.25kg

this is a blast from the past. in 2018 i was asked to make the original set and they finally wore out after being left outside and used and abused for nearly 4 years. they are 23" tall.
-
one of the smallest sets i've done at 3" diameter.
-
these ones replaced an old set in Wales.
-
this is meant to be a very large version of table skittles. that ball is about 7" across.
-
i did a fair few sets of balls over the last couple of years
-
just some of the skittles and balls i've done during lockdown. i didn't get much work during lockdown as all my customers disappeared overnight.
-
i haven't posted on here for a while. i must start adding the last 18 months worth of jobs...
-
it's a great timber to use. i just wish Warwickshire was closer as i'd ask the fella to bring it to me if he was willing but it's nearly 1 1/2 hours away up the M40...
-
this was a nest i made for @Nepia. it even dried perfectly well with the pith still in it. that surprised me. again, just highly sanded and finished with Danish oil.
-
pagoda wood is stunning stuff. nick as much as you can as it deserves to be saved. better than Elm in my book. also turns and dries like a dream here are a couple of bowls i turned with it. merely a danish oil finish.
-
cracking job andy, nice to see my bowls in their final position too.

fresh beech required 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" square
se7enthdevil replied to se7enthdevil's topic in General chat
both would be great. the ends need to be sealed immediately and sprayed with Borax. i don't care for the colour of the timber but there must be no rot at all and not riddled with knots. if we did discuss it i don't remember. this is what someone is cutting for me at present. -

anyone else able to mill me some 5 1/2" beech??? -
as long as the wood is dry and you leave the typical 1/8" gap between boards it should be fine. be nice to see it once complete.
