3' is a good size so i'd up the value to about £150 for the lump as is. spuddog is right that anyone who buys it will be taking a chance on the grain on the inside which could be plainer than you think.
-
depends as to what species of oak it is but at the end of the day it will be worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. as a raw lump about 2' long about £50-80. any sizes? it's hard to tell from the photos.

that's some nice quartersawn stock mate.
-
also a strange bit of elm that is mostly sapwood but i could see was going to make something very interesting.
-
i've also go some laburnum roughed out which i'm drying very carefully as it can easily split. this is how they were arranged in the board.
-
well i've got some more of the pagoda tree drying including a nest of three from a crotch...

the ash is not spalted mate, it just has alot of olive figure and colouring in the wood.

would anyone be able to help move 12' boards of timber?

i thought your knee was stuffed? -
i'm interested in buying an ebay lot which is comprised of about 30 boards of timber most of which are 12' long. they are quite weighty african timbers at about a cubic meter in volume probably around 800kg. they need moving from horley which is next to gatwick airport to J7 of the M4. there is no schedule i'm just seeing if anyone could help as this will have a bearing on whether i end up buying the wood.

i'd happily make tables and other things if i had the outlet for it.
-
could there be a map so people can see the closest one to them?

Does your Facebook business page bring you in work?

i do get a bit of work from it but i use it more as an advertisement so my customers can see what items i've made for other customers. -
that's a sizeable sausage on there....
-
pity, rhody that size would be nice to get hold of again.
-
if it's coming down i want it...
-
dammit... i love that timber... how big is the tree? i might be able to get a few people to get some if you want it gone?
-
makes good furniture too.
-
that sort of edge is made by a grinder taking of the bark a bit like this. look at 2 mins in to the video.
-
a tree that size should really be quartersawn as much as possible as this will keep the boards nice and stable during the drying process along with each board looking nicer one turned into something like furniture...

rustins is crap oil anyway mark. you just had a bad experience bud. i urge you to try more danish oil. this is excellent stuff. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DANISH-OIL-5-LITRE-PROFESSIONALS-CHOICE-5l-5-l/272599199421?hash=item3f782daebd:g:7xIAAOSwax5Y0UFo

how come? i'm using rye's danish oil at the moment which has no chemical driers and it is the best danish i've ever used and believe me when i say i've used alot of them.
-
just use danish oil and you can't go wrong.
-
very durable and is a great timber to work as well. might be interested in some if there is any going spare.
-
i'd say wych elm too.

What kind of tree is this and is it a good wood to burn?
se7enthdevil replied to ha2424's topic in Firewood forum
box elder can be lovely stuff if it has nice colour in the heart. do not just chuck it away. a mob of woodturners will be all over you if it has a nice colour to it and it gets chucked on the tip site. try adding it to a few facebook groups. presuming it has the lovely colouring in the heart then they will love it.
