yes it was at least 44,000 when i checked on the net but that is probably the basic model. i wonder if it would still be a viable option if you think about resale value, milling for other customers with big logs and just how many logs you have of that sort of size??? you know more than me so other than the chainsaw slabbers what other options are out there at the moment???
-
i've only just seen it but can't comment that much as i don't have much info on mills. i presume a good wide bandsaw would be ideal for wide logs? does anyone still make them that wide? the WM1000 cuts up to 1.7m.
-
does it have any thorns??? if not then it is Gleditsia triacanthos var, inermis.
-
i need to see it cleaned up so sand the endgrain to 400 grit and the face grain to about 180 so i can see the grain rather than the roughsawn surface.
-
agreed Acer platanoides for me. Acer campestre has a much coarser bark for that size tree.
-
and the width??? if they are cupped on the width then i'd clamp or bolt them to large section timber to flatten them out a bit whilst you sand the top. if it has bowed down the 7' of length then that will be difficult to rectify. it may not be practical to be used as a single top but perhaps more like two coffee tables???
-
how big are the boards???
-
yep cherry plum it is. i got one myself last year and the wood is stunning..
-
very gracious of you sir and something i'd love to be able to take you up on but as a non driver i suspect i'll never be able to see the table in person. as for the insulation why not use a lap joint to reduce the airflow between boards??? if they are 3" thick boards then use a 1" step on the side so wind can't whistle between the gaps.
-
it's in my dreams somewhere to have a full sized table too one day as i love watching and playing. as a woodturner though the table frames are a good source of genuine mahogany. i must have s dozen tables in bits consisting of legs and sides in my containers.
-
i don't see why it should not do the job but you will need to prevent it from rotting... what size table are you setting up?
-
species ID required please.

wel the wood is clearly a prunus and i suspected the plum as soon as a saw he green line but that leaf really threw me. he says he'll get photos of the tree and the leaves asap so we'll see if he's got mixed up with the leaves. it could be an odd species that we are not used to that has been planted on our shores... -
thanks to and advert on TV for Lynx (i think) i can't get this tune out my head at the moment. takes me back to when i was a kid this one.

species ID required please.

that's what i've been sent. he says there is a line of the trees standing on a lane. i'll ask for a photo of some of the standing trees. -
hi all i've been sent these photos of a tree that although i'm sure is in the Prunus genus i'm not sure what species as i've never seen a leaf like it before. the pictures of the wood tell me that it is possibly one of the cherry plumbs as the green line between the heartwood and sap is indicative of that sort of species. any help appreciated.

looks a bit like a beech to me with bark that smooth.
-
only a tiddler then. the ones 14"x 14" by 20' + start to weigh a bit i'm told.
-
what size is the beam???? any plans for it???
-
it's called Ekki. ekki WWW.HOBBITHOUSEINC.COM
-
the ones i've seen are just a steel corrugation and only go in 1" to the end of a sawn board to stop it splitting during the kilning or air drying process and the end is usually cut off before you do anything. i have sawn through one though and TCT blades go through them with ease...
-
Saul, so far as i know they are not meant for the ends of the log as a whole but the thicker boards once they have been milled. place them over the pith when milled and the drying should split less on timbers like oak. no idea what they are called. try contacting a sawmill???
-
i've turned a couple of Urns in the past (only for dogs) but not yet made a coffin.
-
which Acer is that, Platanoides or Pseudoplatanus??? nice looking timber.
-
which species of elm?
-
no edge about it mate. mahogany looks like this. iroko looks like this. you can look up loads of species on these two websites if you are interested.
