    what sort of sizes are you after? i have some big slabs of sycamore if you are interested? 24" x 5"-5 1/2" x 60" around 8 years dry.

    i think i read somewhere that that can happen on your bog standard english elm. no rhyme or reason as to why i don't think.
  3. se7enthdevil
    don't you usually cut in sections to prevent that sort of thing happening???
  4. se7enthdevil
    can't view the page.

    is there not a willow species that has green twigs like that?

    my point is that these are dead straight and a better quality milling log than some so i feel that they should be milled. i know the british furniture industry has gone to pot and if i had enough space to make my own then i'll be asking for as much english wood as i can. i simply feel that good quality logs should be used for milling and log the crap looking ones.

    so basically if you hit that tree with a hammer and it's hard you can mill it?

    beech is a excellent timber for joinery. why does everyone log it???

    is it not brown oak? i need to learn here too. what's the difference between brown or white rot and the beefsteak fungus staining the wood???

    yeah, i saw that on tv and recorded them. liked the metalworking one too. i must say though that i thought he cheated a little bit with the seat as i thought he might have used an adze not an arbotech blade, but that's just me. talented guy.

    that's a cheap excuse to get some nice chisels. good though:laugh1: when i used to do doors with those door closers we just used to used either an auger bit or a spade set to get the length on the end of a power drill. no chisel needed.

    that funny looking one is a chip breaker used for cutting MFC or melamine faced chipboard to people not in the know. it has beveled teeth and alternately faced teeth to limit the chipping of the melamine as you cut. the underside is usually scored as well to stop horrendous break out underneath.

    don't know if there are any other pole lathe turners out there so this may be a lonely thread for you but i would be fascinated to see what you are able to do on a pole lathe. i'm afraid i went modern and got myself one of these electric things (a jet 3520B to be precise) but have always admire the skill of the pole turner. can't wait to see more.

    that is argentine lignum. i have some genuine stuff if you are interested?
  22. se7enthdevil
    the wood is still perfectly useable for various purposes but it's deemed undesirable. when i bought a load of blanks from an old turner i came across a few bit labeled white walnut, it took a while before i realised that they were sapwood blocks.

    if you are able to mill perfectly flat boards with your mill then go for 1", if you are not confident enough then go for 1 1/2". try to find someone local who may let you use their bandmill???
  24. se7enthdevil
    what is it 20"? for a little one like that it's probably best cut in to 1" boards and that should get the most out of the tree.

    pull your jeans up then it won't fall down the crack...
