  1. doing something like that is far from a waste of wood in my opinion as you get multiple usage of what was merely to be a few lumps of fire wood. one lamp shade, one load of chips for animal bedding, one load of used animal bedding to be either composted or burnt as fuel. why can we not all do this and get the most out of what nature gives us.
  2. you must do one unpainted and perhaps burn it black with a few brush stroke just to paint in eyes and teeth. excellent work by the way...
  3. yep. beech it is.
  4. would be interested to know the wood block printer as i can supply the blocks.
  5. wish i could mate but i'm a maker not a miller. i just wish that good wood was not always split for the fire or chipped for biomass, such a waste...
  6. looks like monkey puzzle.
  7. like tulip wood poplar makes decent joinery wood and i can't understand why we import all the american yellow poplar (tulip tree) when we have a perfectly good timber to use over here. very good for carcasing or kitchen doors or anywhere that need paint applied to it like skirting and architrave. burns ok in my opinion
  8. this has already become an epidemic...
  9. i thought that some trees are so ancient that they end up as really wide trunks that break apart and eventually start again putting up new trunk describing the outer ring of the original tree. never heard of lime doing that though.
  10. i think you should leave anything like nipple in pictures in my opinion. natural is better as far as these sort of photos are concerned. is it a model in photo two or just a good looking gal?
  11. don't cut the lengths up too small... what do you think the amount will weigh? can you say what a small tipper load is in m3.
  12. now that's a proper porker, well done mate. how did long that take in the end?
  13. not sure what a tipper size is can you post a pic or two of the boxwood. is this green or semi seasoned?
  14. not much sleep last night as it surprised us with thunder an rain for a couple of hours. loudest thunder i've heard in a long while...
  15. i thought they went out of production years ago. when did they stop making the 0 numbers alec?
  16. just been going through some pics on my computer and found the process of me turning the porch posts that you can see in my avatar. they were 9" square and 48" long, all planed up by hand with a right angle and and electric hand planer, no heavy machinery was used until i turned it. .
  17. wish i had that sort of skill mate, as has been said how you turn them with no explosion is astonishing...
  18. i lucked out to be honest. i saw that lump that looked like it could have been the second berry and put two and two together that's all... i'm nothing without mr google to double check. i'm not bad with my broad leaves and i'm learning lots of others along the way.
  19. in the third picture down there is a small pinky white bulb berry like structure underneath the ripe berry. this i assumed to be the other berry. i was not 100% sure of the identification as i've never seen anything like it but after putting in plants with black berry's in to google it was the best i could come up with. there appear to be many varieties so there could be one with a single berry. the pink structure around the berry is almost identical so i'm sticking with this guess.
  20. possibly this stuff Black twinberry •Lonicera involucrata - Biodiversity of the Central Coast
  21. unlucky mate i bet that would have been enjoyable revenge.
  22. surely this is the point where you pretend to agree to the thieves £1700 demands (assuming they don't know it's gone) and meet up with the dosh and punch their heads in...
  23. interesting idea. probably correct too. my bowls were freshly cut (2-3 days old) as they came from the felling process at windsor royal estate.
  24. excellent explanation sir... in log form this seems to be the case but i turned some chestnut bowls leaving the wall 1" thick and they dried withing 6 months. do you think that is because the length of the xylem are mostly very short?
  25. you go to the website and copy and paste the address in to what you're typing.
