no they are made from beech but are not really hard or heavy enough for the purpose. this is holm oak. .

hi all, i'm looking for some holm oak please. i live in maidenhead and can't drive so if anyone is felling one in the maidenhead or local area i would happily take some timber off you. if there is anyone with some dry 3" planks i would be interested. tree diameter is not a problem as i only need 3x3" squares 8" long to turn my table skittles from. i would like some thicker stock to make the cheeses from finished size is 4" wide and 1 1/2" thick endgrain turned. wet or dry i'm interested. thanks .

i think the ones with red stems for the leaves are norway maples?
-
i thought it looked a bit pale for the entandrophragma genus so sided with khaya but he is sending me a sample so i can compare them.

try the NSF, national school of furniture. they can train you on machinery...
-
what sizes do you require.
-
put and add out for all local woodturners... cherry is too good to waste.

try this site john, they should be able to give you a price. Christina Meyer - Sustainable Wood Products

i'm fairly certain that the first one is azobe (Lohpira Alata). the second looks very similar to african mahogany but i am not 100% sure. if you send me samples i could make a more positive id.
-
felling of the tree should be done in winter before the sap rises but i believe you can mill at anytime.
-
larch or hornbeam make excellent flooring. yew looks spectacular if you can find enough.
-
rodney you dipstick... thinking of the wrong tree, meant to say judas tree "cercis"
-
i thought liquidambar when i saw the first tree bark. i don't think the second one is a cotinus as i was given some a while ago and it had a really rough bark. could tree no2 be arbutus?

:bawling:

why does everyone want to burn rowan, it's a gorgeous timber... if anyone fells a good sized one i'd be interested if it's near me.
-
i think you might have it there mate. bob the dog, how big is that, not turned much before and may be interested.
-
its a big old lathe to start with but apparently it's the dogs wotsits so i would not pass up the opportunity. what is he charging?
-
i thought lots of tree surgeons became timber merchants.
-
pics of the bark would help. i can't see any medullary rays so think it may be something else. split a lump and smooth it off take a pick and it might be more obvious to me... it looks a bit like a birch at first glance but is the wood brown?
-
don't think they ever made any??? i would think that it would be fairly easy to rig up an old belt driven one though.
-
i don't remember it as i was 4. i did however sleep through it.
-
i thought the storm was in 1987?
-
american black walnut (juglans nigra) is so called because of it's dark/black bark rather than the silvery barked common walnut. that pic looks silvery to me.

living round the corner from dorney lake i got to see the paralympics and on the way to your stand there were loads of olympic tents some of which had rowing machines in. they sat you down in fours and you were in a race. never having rowed before i fell off my seat and after the nice lady got me back on i didn't bother rowing that hard as i knew i would not win the computer game we were hooked up to. well actually i came first out of the four of us and was 1st on the timing screen. as we came back from the grandstand a few hours later i walked back over to the tent as i wanted to see if i was still on the screen, i was 4th... i fell off my seat and did not row for 10 out of the 50seconds everyone else rowed and i was still 4th out of the whole day. maybe i should take it up???

i was thinking walnut and scrolling down to see others thinking the same is reassuring that it probably is walnut.
