    top work as always mate. did you ever cut up that mulberry burr i gave you?
  2. se7enthdevil
    im one of the lucky ones then. i only chop wood for myself but it's been dry enough in the thames valley to not get too soggy on the timber. the ground is definitely saturated but we have had nowhere near the amount of rain that some people have had though. all our flooding came in the winter of 2013/2014 when it just kept on raining for 4-5 months and i ended up looking to see just how high we are on a map.

    grevillea robusta is native to australia.
  4. se7enthdevil
    kevin mccloud had his oak split like that when he built his little shack. looks like fun...
  5. se7enthdevil
    you are talking about the same tree i think, Grevillea robusta. a cracking looking timber in my opinion.
  6. se7enthdevil
    i'd say not looking at the house behind it. looks stateside.

    that's generally because we don't let it get big enough in this country to use it for lumber. it's very similar to lawsons timber wise so check these out. leylandii timber Leyland Cypress | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Softwoods) lawsons timber Port Orford Cedar | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Softwoods) Lawson's cypress why we aren't using both species for fence post i'll never know, both should last 10-15 years no problem, and if they were treated could last alot longer...

    could that cedar not have been milled??? 1m wide quarter sawn boards would have been an incredible sight.
  9. se7enthdevil
    my thoughts exactly, leylandii makes an excellent outdoor timber and if the trunks are of good form the please get a mill involved.

    us turners would be interested in the larger lumps 4"+. it's a really nice timber.
  11. se7enthdevil
    just a bit of cherry, the sapwood has gone orange and the heartwood is still cherry coloured, dead giveaway.
  12. se7enthdevil
    if it's a tree being felled then i'd be interested in a sample of the timber.
  13. se7enthdevil
    be careful when building with that stuff j, its not the strongest wood in the world mate. Black Cottonwood | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwoods) a nice big scotty pine might be better.

    where do you get your redgum from?
  15. se7enthdevil
    wood lots can be useful. WoodLots do you not have your own website? what sort of stock do you currently have?

    should be a good all round light duty timber to be honest. could be used for many things in my opinion. might be a good candidate for large table tops not being too heavy and you shouldn't have too much trouble kilning it.

    apparently the one that my timber is from is a tree that just keeps growing ridiculously fast. handed to me by nepia to see if i could do anything with it. wish i could get my hands on a trunk about 12" diameter...

    i only made the comparison to tulipwood because they are both in the magnoliaceae. i was told that my bits of magnolia are M grandiflora but looking in a book there are three or four species we get in this country. my logs have been sitting on the paved stone outside for nearly two years and i don't think there is a single hole on them yet?

    i need a sample of this wood as the one eric has used on his website is quite small so i can send him a better sample and turn him a bowl to place on the same page. keep it out and we can arrange delivery.
  20. se7enthdevil
    you haven't done the maths have you. one leg 5"x5"x40"= 1000 cubic inches, four legs that size are 2.3ft3. it'll cost about £70 +delivery.
  21. se7enthdevil
    i have just been turning a 3'+ beech i had some 6" from 3 years ago and in a couple of bits the are 100+ years in just 6". even on the bits close to the middle it was 60-70 rings per 6" cylinder. wish i'd counted the age of that one hence my request to find the age of this one. my guess is 300+. let me know what you find out.
  22. se7enthdevil
    sounds good big j. how realistic would it be for you to count the age of this beast mate? i always love to give my customers some background to the age of trees i use.
  23. se7enthdevil
    got a price for makore, it's £35ft3.
  24. se7enthdevil
    makore will last 25 years+ it's in the yellow section of this chart along with opepe, greenheart, teak, ebony, cumaru and massaranduba. .
  25. se7enthdevil
    he is milling a beech for me at near capacity i think and i've asked for a vid to add to my website so we'll have one soon.
