    how big is that word plaque thing??? i might be able to do the chess set but i've never turned one before.. PM sent
  2. se7enthdevil
    it's not a durable wood so i would not make a fence from it. as long as the wood is not going on the fire that's good news to my ears.
  3. se7enthdevil
    if it suckers as much as some people say i'd try to poison the stump first... what have you done with the trunk? i'm a woodturner and norway maple is a lovely timber...

    doesn't surprise me... i actually thought they might be for expanding lead or copper tubing...
  5. se7enthdevil
    how big are they?

    the best soft wood i ever burned was without a doubt Yew tree... burns like stink... cedar of lebanon was bloody good too.
  7. se7enthdevil
    i wonder how quickly the colour will silver off.
  8. se7enthdevil
    why does it "have to be burned", ??? if you have too much wood advertise it on woodturning and woodworking groups on facebook or other turning forums. considering how little elm there is left in the UK it would be a shame to waste it.

    nahh, does the job dirty or clean so i don't bother. also it is over 10 years old.

    just started a big bit of Sapele for a fellow arbtalker... 17"x 2"
  11. se7enthdevil
    looking to obtain 2" square either rough sawn or planed timber to build some planters and a wood store from if anyone has any for sale??? 1.5m and up in length. needs to be a durable wood like oak, robinia, douglas fir heartwood, cedar or larch. i'm in the south of the country (SL1 8AL) and can not travel as i don't drive so i'll either have to get the wood a lift from someone or possibly have it delivered.
  12. se7enthdevil
    no doubt on the endgrain photo you've shown us, 100% Robinia pseudoacacia... also the stringy nature of it when you split the log is very characteristic of splitting that species.

    Would the bark on that be quite corky and thick, because this tree wasn't so much? not sure mate. the small tree i have had of it was 1/2" thick on the bark but that was only a young tree 18" at the base. the bark could change as it matures. i really need to see some good photos of the wood mate then i can be of assistance. are you going to mill it???
  14. se7enthdevil
    No idea Steve. Could be but I have no clue how to recognise one or the wood characteristics. look at the bark. the wood is white like birch but goes a different colour very quickly if not processed. Liquidambar styraciflua

    there is a big tulip tree near me at taplow house hotel. it has a girth of about 7m if memory serves. any chance it could be a Liquidambar james???
  16. se7enthdevil
    i might be interested but what woods would i be asked to write about?
  17. se7enthdevil
    100% walut yes....

    i have a close up image. looks like sequoia sempervirens. it's evergreen.
  19. se7enthdevil
    here are pictures from the listing if someone recognises the bark. it looks like Metasequoia to me as i've just got some from one of my neighbours.
  20. se7enthdevil
    can anyone id this from the photo. it's not my tree so this pic will have to do for now which is the stump regrowth. it's an ebay seller who thought they had a yew tree and were selling the logs but the wood and bark are very different. i'm thinking either Taxodium or Metasequoia??? any help appreciated.
  21. se7enthdevil
    look what i just found... Pete green told me years ago that transworld sport had filmed there but i wonder why it has taken so long to get the film out on youtube... i made the hornbeam pins, the lignum vitae cheeses and the frame (made of iroko and hard maple) the pins stand on. i hope the game keeps going.

    i was pleasantly surprised when i saw the finish i got from my machine when i first used it on the hard african timbers i have. don't make them like they used to. mine left the factory in 1957.
  23. se7enthdevil
    that's precisely the thing i was thinking of when i said ebay could yield one... how many knives are in the blocks of these machines??? mine is a 3 blade on a 4" block.

    i had to move jan 2018 and sell lots of stuff but kept the planer and ripsaw i had as they are beasts. sadly it is now clear that i won't be able to get another workshop of my own and the corner of a joinery that i rent has a saw, planer and wide belt sander so i need them gone.
  25. se7enthdevil
    that was when i got it, it doesn't look like that now. works great though, loathed to sell it really but i've no choice.
