  1. looks like a hazel to me.
  2. well after nepia's delivery of robinia i've cleaved myself some bits of wood for the handles, roughly hewn them to shape and am now letting them dry. i'll get a snap up later.
  3. my dad worked in r&d for mars for about 30 years and used to get called the professor by all his colleagues so knew his choccy. as the "average" family we used to get asked to sample any new products before they tried to market them so could provide the same service with this guy if required. my dad died a few years ago so he can't pass judgement but i think my cousin still works there. my mum is diabetic so she could tell you if it's ok. would love a taster pack.
  4. if it's of a millable size then get it milled as it makes beautiful timber but use the branches on the fire.
  5. the warning on the dust should be pointed at us turners mostly as we have the potential to inhale plenty of dust over the years but for cutting down one tree it will be no problem. the tree will still be wet and the wood will not turn in to the sort of dust that can be a problem but as most turners like dry timber the dust is microscopic and can really get in to your lungs. if there was a known problem with toxicity on any species then there would be an extra charge for droping it, you'll be fine
  6. eeerm, collect from where exactly????
  7. would it be (fraxinus mariesii)???
  8. i'm amazed that the wood behind it didn't go up too...
  9. i fear that i'm too far away but if you were willing to deliver to j7 of the m4 then i'd take it.
  10. i meant closer than that. i need to see the grain to give a positive id. these pages should help you id it yourself. European Beech | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwoods) Sycamore Maple | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwoods) if its beech you will see mudulary rays on the end grain
  11. hi carl, give me a close up of the timber and i'll tell you...
  12. that's what the bidding is starting at.
  13. you don't see many this size!!! Enormous oak burr | eBay is it with £400???
  14. would that be a cockspur hawthorn then? i think they are thornless
  15. yep, you got one thorny tree there
  16. not exactly a customer freebee but i went to buy some timber from a fella who imports it and as he is in the process of retiring he gave it to me. so ended up with a bout 5-6 ft3 of mahogany for nout.

  18. probably one of the handiest gadgets in the shop. managed to buy an old refurbished one a couple of years back. it's made by "whitehead" which i can find very little about but a very good english machine, all cast iron an solidly built. cuts 12" wide but only 4" thick. .
  19. keep an eye on the fence as aluminium wears faster than iron and can warp in the heat or cold of the day...
  20. just found this. deck oil - Rystix Penetrating Oil - hardwood decking oil
  21. hi all, as per title really i need some boxwood for my skittles turning and have none. i require enough for a set of nine 3"x7" blanks and 3 cheeses of 4 1/4"x2 all wood must be seasoned for a couple of years minimum, happy to pay for a courier service as i can't drive. if anyone can help please call 01628 666191.
  22. not sure about the milling side but i would have thought poplar, tuliptree, lime or willow would be good for a surfboard.
  23. we are clearing out the garden and have a few trees that i'd like to try and keep if possible but they are in the wrong place. there is one holly 3' tall, one oak 16" and one horse chestnut that i found under the spruce yesterday about 16" again. can they be moved without killing them and if so how do you do it? you have my thanks for any help given.
  24. what was he doing in it in the first place??? ouch!!!
  25. thought as much, just checking... very surprised to see it growing under our norway spruce where nothing seems to survive (except that plant on the left) because of all the needles... i take it i've mr squirrel to thank for this one.
