  1. why not use the heat of the fire to clean the glass.
  2. just going by square footage alone the surface area for two wardrobes that size assuming they are 2' deep is around 160ft2... cost alone for the roughly 15ft3 required of oak will be up to £700.
  3. £30,000 is a bit high in my opinion.
  4. one oak wardrobe in john lewis £1000 one oak wardrobe in oak furniture land £500 one oak wardrobe in Quarter furniture £700 bespoke prices will be alot higher.
  5. why would you want to paint oak? such beautiful wood should be on show. pm sent, give me a call and we can discuss.
  6. oh well never mind mate. anyone else got any?
  7. to be fair we are not short of them round here it's just that people don't seem to realise that it has its uses...
  8. WRC is easily marked, could you not convince him to go for a harder timber like yew or a good hard hardwood?
  9. no they are made from beech but are not really hard or heavy enough for the purpose. this is holm oak. .
  10. 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 .
  11. i think the ones with red stems for the leaves are norway maples?
  12. 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.
  13. try the NSF, national school of furniture. they can train you on machinery...
  14. what sizes do you require.
  15. put and add out for all local woodturners... cherry is too good to waste.
  16. try this site john, they should be able to give you a price. Christina Meyer - Sustainable Wood Products
  17. 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.
  18. felling of the tree should be done in winter before the sap rises but i believe you can mill at anytime.
  19. larch or hornbeam make excellent flooring. yew looks spectacular if you can find enough.
  20. rodney you dipstick... thinking of the wrong tree, meant to say judas tree "cercis"
  21. 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?
  22. 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.
  23. i think you might have it there mate. bob the dog, how big is that, not turned much before and may be interested.
  24. 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?
