for he chopping board i'd be tempted to leave them as nature intended myself but then i do like the rustic touch. for the table it really depends on the size of the knots in my opinion, if they are gaping cracks then filling them might look odd but if they are thin slivers then i fill with superglue and fine sanding dust. i've no idea where to buy resin but i'm sure someone will. you could try the toolpost.

if it's only recently split then it is unlikely to be dry. robinia is a fantastic firewood timber and it burns very hot but like all timber it needs to be nice and dry for it to burn well. as you've just split it i'd leave it for another year or two and then use it.

it's tough stuff alright but i hope they realise it won't last more than 5 years or so. should carve ok though and take nice detail. give it a million coats of danish and it might last a bit longer. another problem could be that it shrinks like mad, i lost 30mm off the width of a 14" bowl so it could tear itself apart as it dries.

i thank you for offering to help but i've not been able to get a response from the company so i'll have to forget it. thanks for offering in the first place and sorry to mess you about. please pass my thanks to your mate for saying he can help also. it's a pain in the arse when companies don't return emails as i really would have liked some of that stuff. -
thanks for the pics mick. it looks like a softwood species to me and i think it might be douglas fir. what did it smell like when you turned it?
-
emaill them to me so i can see them.

ring porous or not??? i was going to guess liquidambar?
-
i would if i could see the pics. for some reason i'm not able to see some peoples pictures on their posts. i assume it's down to my crappy old computer?

it's an interesting idea and sounds like it should work but you will have one thing to consider and that is the airflow of the model you have in mind. i can't find anything about the actual air flow on dysons so i don't know what they would be like as a form of suction. the only thing i can find is the airwatt which is not what i need to compare if i were trying to use one to make an extraction unit. my extraction unit is not the most powerful thing in the world but it does have some decent airflow at 2000m3 per hour. one thing you will have to consider is that dysons are intended for things like house dust, skin, pollen, mites, spores and general dirt. will it handle shavings???
-
if that was near me i'd want the lot for skittle blanks. why are these offers never close to me??? hope you find someone who could use it mate. this guy is in brummie land i think. Fuzzy Turns | … wood into art. his name is wolfgang.

sound sync is poor but it's still funny. [ame] [/ame]

sounds like i'd better hang on to mine then??? i was going to sell it as i don't use it for milling (the reason i bought it) as i never got round to buying a mill to go with it. i've just been using it a few times to cut up some large lumps before i sell it and even with my extremely limited experience with saws (different ones i mean) i have to say it's by far the best one i've used yet and to me is also very easy to use too.

well i may not be cutting long lengths like that but i will be in exactly the same attire in the summer. and i still have all my toes.

i had this pop up today but i'd never seen it before and managed to click off it quickly.

the cyclone is fitted to a wooden ring and bolted on the perspex and there is duct tape over any gaps. the perspex plate has a foam tape round the edge so that it seals nicely to the wheelie bin. you don't get any blow out as it is a vacuum. when the machine is off you can just lift it up as it does just sit on the bin...

hi guys, are there any woodturners that are interested in some timber being felled in burnham park? this may happen in 6-8 weeks time if permission goes through. here are the locations ofthe fell areas. burnham park. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/burnham+park/@51.5300132,-0.6584926,17z memorial ground https://www.google.co.uk/maps?q=george+pitcher+memorial+ground+burnham&rlz=1C1AOHY_enGB709GB709&ion=1&espv=2&bav=on.2,or.&bvm=bv.149397726,d.d24&biw=1013&bih=632&dpr=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiFlcG28dPSAhVCHZAKHVqPBEwQ_AUIBygC species include hornbeam, western red cedar, dead hedge elm, robinia, judas tree and black pine. if you know any turners able to take some timber let them know.

it is indeed around the weight of lignum but could vary a bit if it's not dry. i'll keep the 2m length limit in mind. -

very good of you sir... i can do as many plates as you like and i don't see why i can't get it sent to a dutch address. i should say that it could be rather heavy. initially i was interested in this beam at 3500mm as i can make a sample of what i intend to make from it. https://eppinga.nl/product/manbarklak-ruw-100-fsc-150x150mm/ if this is too heavy then i'll happily have one of these instead at 2000mm. https://eppinga.nl/product/manbarklak-ruw-100-fsc-50x200mm/ i'm currently waiting for them to get back to me to tell me if the timber is freshly cut or if it's dry. they do not give any indication on their pages if either is the case but i suspect that the plank will be kiln dried and the beam air dried as this is usually the case. i will wait to hear back from them and if it's not too tricky with the logistics then i'll be in touch. thanks again... -
i wanted to get a sample of timber from a company called eppinga https://eppinga.nl/ and thought i'd ask if anyone was traveling between there and J7 of the M4 before i went with a courier. it's only a beam of timber that can be cut up for transport if needs be. here is their location, https://wego.here.com/directions/mix//Eppinga-Hout-Bouwmaterialen,-Marconilaan-5,-Drachten:e-eyJuYW1lIjoiRXBwaW5nYSBIb3V0ICYgQm91d21hdGVyaWFsZW4iLCJhZGRyZXNzIjoiTWFyY29uaWxhYW4gNSwgRHJhY2h0ZW4iLCJsYXRpdHVkZSI6NTMuMTExNDEsImxvbmdpdHVkZSI6Ni4xNDQ0MywicHJvdmlkZXJOYW1lIjoiZmFjZWJvb2siLCJwcm92aWRlcklkIjozMzA2NjU5NzAzODg0MzB9?map=53.10909,6.18745,11,normal&fb_locale=en_GB if no one is doing this in the next couple of months then i'll use a courier but just thought i'd ask here first. any help appreciated.

as far as i know it is not heat that dries the timber. i thought it was the air flow that evaporated the water from the surface and this drew out the moisture from further down up to the surface and so on and so on. i think the heat makes this process quicker but the primary requirement is airflow, you can dry logs in cold countries...

i was thinking that as i typed it. i'll let you do the googling...

cheers mate, i'm looking to get it milled. are there any miller's near this load that could get me a couple sliced and diced if they are big enough. i'm really after 36" butts.
