    should mill up quite nicely...

    horse chestnut is not the best of firewoods but as with all wood as long as it's dry it burns... sweet chestnut is a great wood to mill as long as there is not tons of shake...

    i have a great great uncle who fell on the somme sept 17th (i think) this year and i wanted to go to where he is remembered. i say remembered as he is one of the thousands that they never found a body for. he is on the walls of the thiepval monument. to him and the thousands on all who fell in the conflict i say this, i salute thee for your service, i thank thee for your sacrifice, thank you all.

    sounds pretty dire for the MP then. would be a shame to lose such a spectacular looking tree.

    then according to wheeler dealers it will be a dodgey sensor...

    it's a bit narrow minded of you to tar all of us with the same brush mate. yes i'm happy to be given wood (which happens quite a bit once you are established) but i am more than happy to pay for good wood if i want it. lots of others are quite prepared to cough up for good wood too so please don't put us all in the same pigeonhole just because you may have had some less than ideal experiences with a few turners who are properly as you say "tight arsed"...

    is this not a question that should be posed to the manufacturer of the device? sounds like a bit of an odd one the fact that it used less leccy once you introduce a log...

    i'm all for hearing to a good bit of piss taking but i do want this jacket gone.

    toughness is definitely something that is reduced in the kiln in my opinion as some of the sycamore and beech i used is just so much tougher. i have a beam of oak that was air dried in a porch for 30 years that i got from ebay and turning it is like turning stone in some places like knots. you don't get that from kd euro oak. i've also nearly got through the last of my slabs for the sycamore skittles and the timber in that is so much superior to the stuff i get from lumber yards. the only exception to that is the colour. i do not need nice white sycamore for skittles it just needs to be sound wood.

    is no one interested in this jacket then???

    bloody hell, am i blind or what...

    blimey, that was a lump... what sort of money we looking at here?
  15. se7enthdevil
    any pictures?
  16. se7enthdevil
    what diameter is the stem again???
  17. se7enthdevil
    my point exactly... mill it like that, then sell the planks and the money can keep you warm by buying logs or gas

    was the whitebeam you gave me a few years ago swedish or common??? i managed to get both a common whitebeam and a sugar maple milled earlier this year. both are drying at the mo...

    fair enough, it never hurts to ask.
  20. se7enthdevil
    it's may still be of use as i'd like a sample to send to the wood database. i've got a bit of common whitebeam but don't have a 100% proof bit of swedish. i'd only need a decent branch. what's the largest diameter branch you'd be taking off???
  21. se7enthdevil
    is this a tree that's being felled???
  22. se7enthdevil
    if it must be turned into logs then fair enough but there is enough there to get some planks from. at least get someone to mill the bottom 10-12' of the trunk. such a nice sized tree will make some beautiful timber if it's quartersawn.
  23. se7enthdevil
    some good info there... i've long suspected that most companies fast track their kilns drying it out way too fast rather than drying it out properly.

    to the best of my knowledge this is an as new jacket as it was sold to me as an unworn item on ebay (and i can believe it) and other than trying it on only to find it's too tight i obviously have not been able to use it so is as new. when i looked it up on the internet brand new it would have sold for £200+ it's supposed to have a slightly distressed look about it but i can assure you i honestly think the original sellers claim is correct.
