    phwoooooar I'd strap them on any day...........

    heavily seal the ends quick and keep it out of the sunlight where the humidity is quite high, this will slow the drying process as much as possible. what do you want for it?

    deffo field maple, hard to find a large tree these days i dont know how a hawthorn and field maple could be confused with each other but mabey my mind is not ignorant enough? never seen a maple with berries though... its believed that stradivarius used english field maple for his high end violins as it was more densly grained than other maples.

    at least immigrant are the same species, the gray and red squirrel are two completely different species and dont mix. long live tuffty(Sciurus vulgaris)...

    kill every one of the little buggars wrap em up and slap em on the supermarket shelves. i'm a red head my self so want to see the grey completely annihilated from our fair land. a nationwide cull should be implemented as this would give the gunmen something else to shoot at rather than our badgers. that numpty off the wild wood (rob penn i think) was doing it as was jimmy doherty, they shot them and ate them. jimmys nephews loved them and they are probably healthier than any burger or banger on the barbie. come on everyone lets trap and shoot.

    you dont need to spend thousands on a stihl or husky. i bought a relativly cheap (£200) ryobi 18" saw not sure what engine size but it has given me 5-6 years of good service and i only bought it for occasional use but as always you end up using these things more often than you think...

    i would only do it dry if i didnt want it to warp once turned but if you dont mind it warping and most likely developing the odd split then i would have a go green. green timber is easier to turn, the only disadvantage is that any inbalance you have when its mounted could be made worse by the moisture content. personaly i would use a bowlsaver device to cut out the middle and get a few more bowls from such a nice burr so if you want someone to do it for you make sure that they have such an item of equipment.

    thats a tricky thing to find as most tree surgeons just add it (like every other wood) to the fire pile. also its not very big so limits what you can do with it, never had any myself as its such an oddity but dont expect it to be much bigger than boxwood sizes... as for ataining it i would ask every tree surgeon you can find to keep their eyes peeled...

    if you dont naturaly have an eye to use those cuts then it can be a hard thing to learn. try the approach of "use what your given" then this could force you to use the bits you might usualy cut out.

    as previously stated you are welcome to do it yourself but as a seasoned turner that is a bit ambitious for a first attempt. my advice is seal all open surfaces with wax or a couple of layers of pva and leave for a few years before using. if you want anything done sooner you can core it and leave it for 6 months and it should be dry enough for turning. im happy to help you if you wish and could even turn it for you but im in berkshire. you could courier it to me unless you find a nearer turner. you must expect to pay anything up to £100 for a turning that size. any advice you want on the matter just give me a call 01628666191.

    must just be me that doesnt like it then. on reflection the bits i had were very young and fast grown so consequently quite soft. perhaps a tree that has reached any state of maturity will have a harder timber to play with... i'll give it the benefit of the doubt for the moment.
  16. se7enthdevil
    some people may be interested but as a woodturner the small bits i've had were soft as hell and in my mind not fit for either turning or furniture or any other craft. chainsaw carvers might want it???
  17. se7enthdevil
    if the tree falls away from the house i want it... never had the chance to turn magnolia before

    i've just bought some deodar from big j and its beautiful stuff, im making a side table with drawers from it and wholy recomend it as a timber. as a joiner by trade and general woody person i think cedar is a very under used timber. my only recomendation would be that unless it very figured or swirly grained when cut through and through cut it as quater sawn as you can as thats what the stuff i got from big j is and it looks stunning.
  19. se7enthdevil
    thats about the 4th time they've listed that and they never lower the price. you think they'd get the message that they wont sell it at £300. i'd pay £50 delivered max...
  20. se7enthdevil
    cracking job steve good to see it on completion
  21. se7enthdevil
    there is about 9 m3 of wood there but i dint know what you will loose in conversion. maybe 1/5-1/4 less, so about 7-8m3 if well milled.
  22. se7enthdevil
    definatly not a strawberry tree grasshopper... im still learning myself but it may be the sugested red jade apple but i think it may be part of the cherry family.

    if you are willing to collect (i cant drive) then i can give you a boot and back seat load at a time.

    i realy do fill up a one ton bag per week when busy

  24. se7enthdevil
    as a woodturner i can produce up to 1 cubic meter of chippings/shavings a week and i need rid of them do you want them?
  25. se7enthdevil
    i'd agree with that...
