looks like excellent quality timber for my skittles carl. just remember when you stick it to keep it out of the wind or it will dry too quickly on the outer surfaces and split.
-
if i can rescue a small lump and season it myself i'll give it a go jon but for the job i have in mind they must be seasoned. what sort of size is it?
-
hi all, just trying to find out if anyone has some 3" seasoned holm oak i could buy?

that's theft!!! you can take her to court as they are you're property not hers and you can't sell anything that isn't yours without express permission from the owner. sue her for loss of the saw and for loss of earnings in the intervening period.

yes i know clive and he keeps his woodmizer stationary and wont use it for mobile milling. gobbypunk is looking in to it so i hope the trees are saved from the fire pile.

hi jon, it's only referred to as rainbow poplar when it looks like this. Rainbow Poplar | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwoods) look at the bottom of this page, poplar

hi beau, firstly i'll congratulate you on the workmanship. top of the class stuff there mate. secondly i would like to say well done in using wood that is too quickly chucked on the fire pile. tulip tree is a lovely timber and is vastly underrated in my opinion and as you've shown can have beautiful grain when used properly. nepia's tree is two nests of three bowls that need finished turning and will hopefully look as good as that unit. good job.

so it's no longer rotting. i see.
-
never understood why it's called dry rot. don't think you need to worry as any rot will only take place in damp conditions and presuming that these aren't present in your house then you should be ok.

hi all, as you will see from another thread there is a few norway maples in baisingstoke and i would be interested in getting them milled. can anyone help... apparently the site must be cleared fast so need it done sharpish... it would be a shame to see it all go for firewood.
-
delabodge may be interested in that as he used it for outdoor furniture.
-
mill the log you reclaimed from the deep and sell the lumber. is it true bog oak??? the oak you poses should be fine for what goes in to the water and should lats 15 years without treatment. for something that will last 25-40 years i would pick greenheart or ekki
-
that should be milled not logged. some one rescue this tree..

try mendip logs, he's always looking for big butts... -
Bandsaw 36" Stenner 3 phase | eBay did you mean this one? to add a link you copy and paste the long line of gibberish that makes up the address.
-
up to 4' in diameter??? trees that size should be milled...
-
good straight stick, should make some lovely boards...
-
suffolk matt, if you are coming this way to collect the lathes i'll happily show you the ropes whilst your in the area. i live not far from stihlben and you are welcome to pop in.
-
if you feel like getting rid of your forester saw then let me know as i'll happily take that for nowt.
-
if it's all for firewood cut them in to rings and roll them down the hill...
-
if it's just for show then use what you like but if it's for use as a proper wagon wheel then i wouldn't argue with so many years of knowledge and use ash...
-
not all shavings are the same colour as the wood. i turned some ipe recently which is a lovely chocolate brown and the dust and shavings were distinctly greenly tinged...

the clue might be in the word "wood" those videos use plywood and other videos use wood, not mdf.

managed to rip open my left hand a few years ago whilst (and don't laugh at this) holding the turned finial in my left hand and with the battery drill in the other that had a forstener bit in it, i commenced drilling... i succeeded in drilling the recess in the finial but it then slipped and i ripped a large part of the skin from my left hand. basically the bit between my thumb and finger was lifted open in a flap like bit about 1/4" thick showing the underside on my skin. i got off lightly and i'm glad it was nothing like this. the only benefit i got was a fascinating lesson in hand anatomy that the student nurse didn't seem to have the stomach for.

do you mean the neck??? 25-30" is 630mm - 750mm wide... are you making a guitar or a coffee table? scarlet oak (quercus coccinea) will be hard to find in that sort of size and even some of our natives will be hard to find at 2 1/2 feet wide. i would suggest for wide boards that you go for beech, ash, doug fir, cedar, sycamore, plane, poplar, elm or an exotic species that can be readily found at that width like iroko, sapele, mahogany, idigbo or bubinga. is it for looks or performance.
