the new joints are to be brass (no chrome plating) as the staff is to be turned from Indian rosewood and the customer agreed that brass would look better than a silvery finish. couldn't give a toss as to the thread used as long as it connects... brass tread can be brazed in to one bit and the other side tapped. the bead is required for detail though. the current length is 4" but as i already stated it can be a little shorter if it means more can be got out of the bar i purchased, this is what i bought. Brass Round Bar Rod 7/8" dia x approx 4ft long | eBay

thanks chippy but i've tried the stickman already and he couldn't help me, also there don't seem to be any "local" engineers so i thought i'd ask on here. timmy c how much would you charge? i'll send you the brass rod and you can turn a couple for me, the staff is rosewood and i only have enough timber for two so that will be my first order... the main shank is to be about 3/4" and the overall joint is 4" long but this could be shortened to make more joint from the brass i have. just thought i'd point out that my customers are masons and don't mind paying for quality. these staffs are actually called wands and are about 6' tall, they want some posh ones and the rest are more bog standard so for those i purchased some snooker cue jointers but for these posh ones i need this joint thing bespoke made. thanks to anyone who can help.

hi there, i was hoping that someone on here has the kit to do some metal turning as i need a screw connection joint made to sit in the middle of a thin staff. its made of solid brass (which i have) and will hopefully have 10-20 to do if they like the prototype. here is a picture of the one he brought me.

you dont need big wood to core. those laurel ones at the front are only 7 1/2".
-
well here's yesterdays coring efforts, from what was 4 bits of hornbeam and 1 24" log of laurel (essentially 5 lumps of wood) i managed to get 27 blanks and i'm yet to core two large bits of beech which should give me another 8 blanks plus a few other bits most people would consider firewood. reckon i'll have about 40 when i'm finished. the five triple nests are the hornbeam, the rest is laurel.
-
along with all the brown oak i have laurel, hornbeam and spalted beech. here a link to the coring of a small laurel bowl with the woodcut bowl saver. its only 7"x3" but i can turn it in to two bowl rather than one nice bowl and lots of shavings.
-
surely that's a prime candidate for one of these isn't it? .
-
graham is right i was thrown by the non plated look of the juvenile bark. no offence taken, i'm pretty good these days at identifying trees bit i'm learning lots too.
-
if you dont know, why guess??? looks more like a cherry of some sort but i'm no good at identifying very young trees.
-
here's those first three again just to give you an idea of their size. one is 17" and the other two are 19" .
-
my personal feelings are that a tree should never go to fire wood if it can be planked. cedar makes great lumber but is not in fashion so sawmills might not want it, you'll have to phone around to see. see the bottom of the first page of this thread to see what good furniture timber it is. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/woodcraft-forum/60100-all-my-woodwork-so-far.html someone should be able to help with the chainsaw.

as soon as i saw the bark i thought strawberry tree, but its been a while since i've seen one so don't quote me on it...
-
nice build. i'll have a large Margarita thanks.
-
i don't remember seeing any thorns at all. i could go and have another look tomorrow. all the evidence is pointing to the hawthorn genus and i'm happy to call it that. i thought i knew what a hawthorn looked like, i've just expanded my knowledge.
-
gentlemen, can we please get away from the hornbeam thing, its really annoying and i would honestly like a positive id on this tree please
-
finally got round to doing a few more of the brown oak bowls for savill gardens in windsor. first three consist of one at 17" and two at 19" the rest are 13" down to 5" .
-
i though it may be a different species because there is tons of elm hedge in this park all dying of DED and thought this may have been a resilient species?
-
been taking a few snaps recently and am only just getting round to them... i really wish to expand my knowledge of identifying trees and this is a great place to do it.
-
according to my book a cockspur thorn is (crategus crus-galli) prunifolia is the plumleaf thorn which it looks similar too...
-
not sure as to the exact species here and hoped somebody could help. i thought it may be a small leaved elm?
-
known this tree all my life but never known what it is. is it a dogwood? be great if some one can id it for me thanks in advance.
