top notch joinery there sir, well done.
-
i couldn't have put it better myself...
-
i thought the idea was to stick and stack as you mill???
-
amazingly simple idea...
-
where do you get your snakewood then?
-
what sort of quantities are you after?
-
done that a few times myself when i burned my shavings in a oil drum, when it was very hot i used to get my shovel and scoop up the fine sawdust from the bandsaw and throw them in the air above the drum. whhhoooooosssshhh.... happy days.
-
i can do as i'm a joiner by trade bit as i haven't got that big a workshop i've stuck to my turning for the moment. are you looking for one for yourself or to retail them?
-
did it have a happy ending for the inhabitant or did you give it a trim? wicked looking timber by the way. more pics...
-
if when you priced the job up you did not take in to account cutting up the logs like you did, remind him that you did them as a favour and were generous to do so and well within your rights to not have done any.
-
that sprung to mind when i first saw the pic oft he leaf... it's the wavy edge of the leaves that give it away.
-
here's a small bowl i did in holm oak which is fab stuff to turn but you've got to turn it quick or it splits like hell. the last pic shows the amount of radial shrinkage there was before it was finished turned. .
-
yep, twas just a wee one when i got me mits on it. i was staggered as to just how fast it had grown as it was only 15-20 years old for 6-7" diameter. the wood is smooth as silk... the hornbeam has not moved as yet but i will be getting it out soon to chop it in to it's component parts and store it in my dry shed.
-
here is a bowl i turned from a 8" wide log. .
-
how much would you want per cubic foot? once cut i'll need them asap so i can cut them in to squares and seal them. this stuff splits ridiculously quick.
-
if you are going to be milling some then please mill me some in 3 1/4" slabs as i have a use for it.
-
what???? you gotta have seeds and leaves to back that one up mate. be interesting to have. what size is it? was it a stem or a branch???
-
might be interested in some of that alex. what sizes do you have?
-
these are all great guys, keep them coming. here's one i managed to memorise from a book i have on limericks. One fine October morning, in September last July, the moon lay thick upon the ground, the snow shone in the sky, The flowers were singing gaily and the birds were in full bloom, so i went down to the cellar to sweep the up-stair room...
-
if one is coming down i might be interested in the wood, it's supposed to look really nice. File:Cryptomeria japonica SectionOfAFelledTree.JPG - Wikimedia Commons

damson is the plum i've just turned and it doesn't look quite like that but it's still possible. come on phil put me out of my misery, what is it?
-
hard to tell without the bark and i've just turned some plum with pink streaks like that but i'm going to guess lilac?
-
really, i had some brown oak and i cut it in to boards and bowl blanks and it was dry within weeks...
-
if it's perfectly good wood then i'm firmly in the camp of why chop it up for firewood? the branches should go on the fire and the trunks should go to the mill...
-
as they are woodland trees the chances are they will be good and straight and are worth milling. if you were closer i'd be after them for skittle timber as i use 5" squares to make my sets of skittles from... try not to waste all that good wood. don't forget, colour should not matter as long as it's good sound timber...
