i need to get rid of my turning timber to a good home as it is too good for the fire. i want £50 for a boot full and £150 for a car full. if anyone is interested then please get in touch via the website. http://steveswoodenskittles.co.uk/contact.html

we need rid of this excellent condition single bed as we are moving house. the charity shop would not take it as it is a couple of years too old but still has the fire safety info on it. if anyone is interested we need it gone in the next 14 days please and this is collection only. contact me via the website link. http://steveswoodenskittles.co.uk/contact.html

plane tree is not dense wood, your boards must have been still wet as that works out at 48lbft3 whereas on average plane sits at about 35lbft3 when dry. what did you make from boards that size?

sweat chestnut is a new species for me, what's that "castanea sweatvatica"???
-
i'd be interested to see a pig carcase fed in to see how quickly it disappears???
-
if you want the wood just for fuel then i'd plant a good burning hard wood for firewood... there are plenty of relatively fast growing hardwoods that will burn really well and give out good heat. robinia and gleditsia spring to mind... others could be ash, oak, beech or apple.
-
good on ya mick, about the right price i'd say...
-
i doubt there is much difference between the two species timber wise but it will burn once dry like any other timber. i'd be interested in a sample of this wood as it's not one i've had before. is it already down? a thick ring would be ideal so i can cut a sample from it and turn a bowl.
-
i intend to create a website specifically for my bowls or other turning work asides from skittles ass i love to make them in my spare time. neither cat will be included in a sale but if the customer wants the cat to sleep in the bowl it will cost extra.
-
durable species that grow in the UK include, the uk has no class 1 durable timbers. class 2 timbers include, anything in the cedrus genus. anything in the larix genus (can also be class 3) taxus robinia gleditsia quercus robur (and other durable oaks) sweet chestnut class 3 timbers are, douglas fir walnut wester red cedar cherry typically any species in the cypress family is good and eucalyptus also does quite well. i'm also happy to leave laburnum, catalpa and ailanthus outside till i convert it as they seem to do ok... most others are not worth it.

i watched that program of his and realised that i had an alarming number of traits in common with him. never hated him though, just thought he was a bit odd.
-
the other is lucy which mum nearly re named lucylastic as she goes bonkers when it is going to rain and runs around like speedy gonzales... she sleeps in anything she can or under duvets and again in my bowls if they are big enough or like the second to last picture where only her head can fit...
-
my mum has two cats which don't like each other. this is millie who must be the oddest cat in the world as she twists herself into a knot quite a bit and she is amazingly long flexible to do so. one end can be 180 degrees to the other. she also curls her tail... she also likes sleeping in my bowls if they are big enough.
-
very generous of you sir... let's hope it's not too far away...

i want a good sized sycamore 3'+ for my skittle pins but everyone keeps ringing them up so i never get the chance.
-
please tell me that the stem is still available to be milled?
-
that looks good. i would have thought chestnut would be way too light for a priest?
-
thinking about it and depending on the size you require i can turn one from the following. judas tree strawberry tree hornbeam rippled oak whitebeam boxwood laburnum cherry laurel field maple norway maple robinia honey locust those were all grown here but if you were to go for an exotic i can turn one in many more heavy woods. these include, opepe wenge cumaru okan heavy mahogany ekki greenheart garapa afrormosia lignum vitae olivewood pau amarello angelim vermelho angelim pedra movingui jatoba santos mahogany mesquite bulletwood
-
i've just remembered that i have a mini stick of rippled oak kicking around somewhere, would that be good enough?
-
depending on your definition of a good weight i've found most timbers native to our shores to be just too light to be of any use therefore a larger priest would be required. i could make you one if you want? if you are after native i'll see if i have any boxwood left as that's pretty much the heaviest native we have. laburnum can be in the realms of a good weight for a priest but it would have to be slightly bigger to get the weight. if you don't mind going over to the odd exotic timber then i could easily help you out.
-
perhaps it should as ramin is usually nearly white...
-
yes i'm a steve alright, it's the "Mc" bit i was thrown by. all taken in good humour though.
-
probably because you are spelling it wrong. try looking for meranti. there are lots of jungle woods that are not used for main timber export but are used locally for pallet manufacture so it may be that this timber never gets identified.
