Sequoia sempervirens? i've just sold some of that to a luthier. good old growth stuff with no knots like yours and 150 years growth in 10 1/2"...
-
as long as they won't crush under the weight i don't see why they'd not be a good option especially if you have access to loads free. perhaps a bit thin for some people? i'd prefer 3/4" myself.
-
not sure about the ones you have said but i have one for sale that does 12"x4.
-
yes there is. reeeaaaallllyyy slooowlllyy. end seal and keeping it out of the elements so it dries at a slower rate and hope like hell it works...
-
it was a biggie... .

my tree, (well the customer's) being felled by the tree surgeon who has become a mate, a few days later a friend milling and me and another friend helping (and the customer) with a rather rare Pagoda tree Styphnolobium japonicum. stunning timber. .

i'm also looking for milled beech if anyone can help. i use it for my skittles and need a constant flow as the stuff that is milled now gets used in 3 years time. i need some milled this year...
-
i bought a fair bit from you.
-
yes it should be fine.

basswood is just the american species which is that bit lighter in weight. Tilia americana if memory serves.
-
no it will rot in 5 mins. use doug fir.

how can the article say that methane is second only to CO2 as a greenhouse gas? methane is 23 times worse.

finished the first pistachio bowl that for obvious reasons i'm going to name the yin yang bowl. the first two pics are only rough turned. .
-
just a few more pins and balls i've turned recently. .
-

Identify two Cedars please?

i know i'm better with timber than the trees but i thought they were doug fir and norway spruce myself. -
Steve, do you have one of those Japanese style push/pull fine saws. I'm contemplating getting one, but not got a clue about them. Just from what I have read they are supposed to be great for fine cuts. no i do not. i never found a need for one.
-
i got these. i may only be a joiner/woodturner but they come in useful.

i think it is believed to be a bit genetic as some trees are very susceptible to it whereas some are just normal grained. the growth of the tree can be a factor too like a huge crown on a small stem is likely to result in ripple on most species but this is not the case for this specimen.
-
the tree you cut for me had quite a few beams that were nicely figure J. i think this tree is an exception and will be nicely figured. whoever gets to cut it up i am interested.
-
in fairness here the coastal redwood is Sequoia sempervirens... it's some cracking timber you have there. how old do you think the tree was?
-
they also fail to mention that a huge amount of what is planted is purely for the use in the fires of any buildings within the grounds. when i went to their yards in swinley forest they had just felled many acres of beech that were planted for firewood 60-100 years ago.
