yes i'm interested in some of it.
-
this guy says in the materials that it's oak and then in the description says it's sycamore??? if you can find a few interior designers then they should sell quite well but it's a thin market to aim for. if i could find it i'd do those myself... i hate metal legs though...
-
how big is a lorry load? could you deliver to slough? steve
-
you wont plane a board that wide, the biggest planer in the world will only be about 30"... you surface big dry boards like those on a wide belt sander which can be up to 5' wide. or you do it the way most people do and use a handheld beltsander.
-
i could do with some better photos than those mate, i can think of lots of woods that it could be but need to see closeups of the grain and to see what it looks like in natural day light. cherry, mahogany, sapele or jarrah are just a few.

if you can try to get some old advertising banners that you see on the side of the motorway in a field on an old traiiler. i got 4 on ebay at a bargain price and they are the best i've ever seen... designed to put up with UV bombardment so are really good

Walnut timber - Is this worth anything/of use to anyone?
se7enthdevil replied to JaySmith's topic in General chat
it's already cut in to firewood so why ask? should ask before it's felled as you won't get much from it now... -
really nice work ian. for some reason i like the snowman uncoloured rather than coloured...
-
we've just had a discussion about the trickiness of drying it. i am interested in some and you two can discuss if milling can take place. alec, mike said on the phone that he had some plums to remove so you may be able to do business on those?
-
i've never seen a cellist crowd surfing before... nice music... i always loved the william tell overture...
-
pear is a good hard timber and that specimen should definitely be milled, don't let it get logged up... i'f you can get it milled i may be interested in the wood.
-
blimey, that's a big butt...
-
it's an unusual species over here but here are a few more pics on this link. smoketree they seem a bit plain compared to what i've just turned...
-
great minds think alike hey... it's just from a personal standpoint of liking the inset look plus the finicky git in me thinks it looks more professional too. if you do the next one like that it would be interesting to see the pics side by side... what do you finish it with?
-
i was thinking of putting it on the guess the wood page but i doubt anyone would get it. its smokebush. cotinus coggygria. delivered to me today by phil71, cheers bud...
-
cant wait till these beauties dry out. this is the sort of wood that renders me speechless... i hope they survive as there are lots of splits already present on the timber.
-
very well documented... may i make a suggestion? from a personal point of view if i was making myself one i would sink the crossed feet in to the post itself to look more integrated. would that be something you'd choose to do?
-
i thought they were boxwood
-
milled lime is usually to dry it out quicker then you can laminate it up for things like rocking horses and merry go round animals. as you are laminating you leave the core empty to lighten the finished carving.

Firewood for sale Little Chalfont, Bucks
se7enthdevil replied to PC Treescapes's topic in Firewood forum
you should get the cherry planked... i was asked to turn a drum from a solid bit of wood and cherry was one of the woods i wanted to use but never got hold of any so i'm definitely interested in a ring to make this drum body. any chance you could deliver to slough? will also buy some firewood... -
how thick a layer did you leave to dry? danish oil can "go off" so it may not have been any good and would take ages to dry.
-
as already said, use something else as it won't last five minutes in soil or outside for that matter. i recommend you get english oak or robinia.
-
do you have any other angles???:lol:
-
they all look like that in the beginning mate. you'll get better.
-
show us a pic of the wood as well as the bark and i can tell you. does look like a scots though.
