right, after leaving the handle to dry out over the summer i've turned it in to something i'm really pleased with... pic to follow.
-
and now we go through the keyhole...
-
how about this one for a cheeky grin...
-
depends on the quality of the tree really mate, stick up some pics of the grain and a location and you might get a few takers... a tree that size in yew should be milled, please do not let it get logged...
-
brilliant picture, i want to see more...:thumbup::thumbup:
-
chop it in to little bits and leave till next winter...

not played in a long time but have a table at home (not enough room to play) which sadly will be sold in the near future. at my brothers stag do whilst he was drumming in his live gig at a pub in wycombe i was on the pool table all night and only lost twice out of about 24-25 games. i'd forgotten how good i can be...
-
not had the pleasure as yet but you need sharp tools... it's most likely better turned in to boards which is what i want to do.

hi all can anyone help with the moving of a paulownia tree that has been brought to my attention in another thread. i'd need it taken from abbotts ann to slough, supposed to be 2.15m by 50cm diameter. can anyone help?
-
yeah but my lathe's massive... never actually liked turning the stuff myself but each to their own. there will be one or two bits that would look good for the knots but the rest is for a very select market hence my suggestion for the fire. i should have stated that i was referring to milling logs to be 18"+
-
not all joinery wood has to be dead straight and knotless... you can make some beautiful furniture from bits like that usually incorporating the natural flaws in to your designs.
-
a tree should never be removed just because it's blocking gutters, there are ways to prevent that and chopping the tree down should not be the answer. if it really does have to go then the wood should be milled as oak from that part of the world is good quality stuff but it depends how it's grown in an english climate. where is it?
-
that's tiny mate, put it on the fire... needs to be 18"+ before it's of any real use.
-
fabulous end to a magnificent specimen. please post lots more pictures of the subsequent boards cut...

i gave an elm coffee table a few coats of danish and the nephews have put it through its paces and its still fairly unscathed after 5-6 years. depends on the fluid i suppose? the boys like apple and orange juice which are acidic and it's stood up to those. can always be sanded down and resurfaced if its trashed. i've not used osmo that much but slackbladder will be able to tell you the best stuff for it.
-
osmo is a good solution but i think in this case that lots of coats of danish will give you a really good tough finish and keep adding one every 6 month and it will just get tougher.
-
right on dudes, indian bean it is... told you that clue would give it away. it's fabulous stuff and i want some more. anyone dropping any near maidenhead?
-
perhaps i should have said, it came from the states but has been grown here for 150+ years. ah well as no ones got it i'll tell you the family, it's in the bignoniaceae.
-
no but it is a very ring porous timber.
-
no, none of those. if i say what family it's in i think it will give it away.
-
ok then, it comes from the states...
-
none of those... i was going to give everyone a clue but i cant think what clue to give without making it too obvious.
-
nope not them either...
-
at least they are all different guesses. i'm surprised that no one has got it yet as it's not that obscure a tree. keep guessing.
