never heard of that one before????
-
my local churchyard has some old yews trees as multistem bushes that are 400 years old but this is the only maiden in the whole grounds. any guesses as to its age would be interesting to hear. the trunk is 13' in girth. not sure of it's height but it's nearly as tall as the church roof. best guess is 40-50 feet. the standing stone next to it is 4' tall

didn't know they exist if it is but would be interested to know what it may be. .

i don't believe it maters if you are dealing in the country of growth. i contacted cites once as i had a wood sample 6"x4"x1" of MP that i wanted to send to the states and was told it would need a licence but i was also told that selling it in this country was fine, you just cant export it. its to stop countries that don't have it wanting it really. every country want's what it doesn't have it seems...

hi james, that sounds great, i can resaw no problem. my rip saw goes through just about anything. keep the wood as plain as you can so you can keep the olive stuff for fancier projects. this table is actualy for playing skittles on so don't need beautiful boards just stable ones to keep a flat surface. 3" would also be useful for the legs, can't have any wormholes though as it won't be accepted. this is to be a prototype for masters traditional games and must be perfect. i'm creating a drawing of the product that must be collapsible so it can be sent by courier as they often go far and wide including overseas. if the drawing (and possibly a scale model) is accepted then he will commission the table. .

Keepin natural colour In wood. What oils?
se7enthdevil replied to Big Beech's topic in Woodcraft Forum
my side table art he bottom of page 1 on this thread was finished with danish oil. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/woodcraft-forum/60100-all-my-woodwork-so-far.html i also use danish for most of my bowls as it really brings out the colour and makes it look great -
i want i want i want....

well, i've finally finished turning all the walnut i got from clive and in the end i got a whopping 73 bowls from it. here are some pics of just the biggest ones and the large nests i got from the thick bits. one of these is only 12" but the rest are 18" up to 26". it made alot of shavings!!! there should be a 5th platter but it seems i didn't take a picture of it... .

Laburnum bole for turning/milling, what's it worth ?
se7enthdevil replied to Gareth Smith's topic in Milling Forum
i'd happily pay £40-50. never chip such lovely wood. for me i'd want it split down the length in to log halves so i can make nests from them. if it's 12-14" then you'll get at least 10 blanks and i'll average 3 per nest so 30 bowls. -
it's on on monday night at 9pm on one of the channel 4 channels. repeated all week... glass blowing next...

i liked the blacksmith's work and i've recorded the stonemason's episode to watch later but speaking as a turner and joiner with a qualification in furniture making i was woefully disapointed with the quality of the craftsmanship on the wood workers episode. they were primarily designers and they were asking them to produce top notch furniture. i went for a job at benchmark last year and saw the quality of what they produce and knew they were not up to standard and was gobsmacked that they wanted both tables. i think they wanted them for their design capabilities not their manufacturing ones...

Scratching my head on this one...
se7enthdevil replied to Rich @ C Trees's topic in Tree Identification pictures
give me a pic of the wood and i might be able to help. is it ring porous or not??? -
muttley does things like that... i can do too if you can find no one else.
-
2-3 feet is a good milling size. makes excellent timber, surely a mill would be interested???
-
it's only lightly sanded and given a coat of danish. i don't believe in polishing something that will be beaten to within an inch of it's life night after night.

i finally got round to turning a whole set of pins for the London skittles club which i'm quite proud of as the shape is a hard one to replicate exactly. they are 14 1/4" tall by 6 3/8" wide and made from two blocks of hornbeam glued together with internal dowels for extra strength.

never turned any but would love to get hold of some, is there any spare for me???
