this look like great fun. [ame] [/ame]

the tulip tree i'm referring to is in my village of taplow in the gardens of taplow house hotel. The Woodland Trust | 2009 | Taplow House Hotel Tulip Tree it's huge. the article says it could have been brought to britain as early as 1630. my original statement of it being 350 years old is incorrect though, they only think it's 250.

i would have thought the native americans got there before the vikings. going by a few documentaries i've seen the americas have been populated for 5-6 thousand years. i think that vikings got there in about 800ad and people have been trading the timber of lignum vitae (along with other species) from central america for at least 500 years.

se7enthdevil replied to AndyChalmers's topic in Milling Forum

i'll agree that there obviously those sorts of turners that think you should give it to them but please don't tar all of us with the same brush
-
why does everyone think woodturners are all tight fisted gits... we are not all old farts who think that tree surgeons should pay us to take it away you know. firewood is £80m3 (including air) = £2.26 ft3 for milled green timber i usually pay £15ft3 regardless of what it is.
-
now that's a big tulip tree. i'm surprised that it's 400 years old though as there is one near me that has a girth of 7m+ and that one is only 350.
-
could the stem be milled? should be some cracking wood in a tree of that age. woodturners will be interested in branches too.
-
well i've only 23mm in the birdseye. i do have some 2" boards of plain grained maple if that's of use to you. i should be going to get them on saturday and i'll get some photos up.
-
yes all in par board form from 5"-10" wide. all 23mm thick and 3-4m long. not sure what sort of price yet as i can't find anyone selling any to get a rough guide from.
-
hi all, i'm getting my hands on some birdseye maple and i just wondered if anyone is interested in some for any projects. i should have about 36ft3 of varying widths 5-10" all planed to 23mm. if anyone is interested please let me know.

most people don't realise that most oranges (the skin at least) are green anyway so they do indeed look like oranges. the osage part of the name is supposed to come from the native american tribe who used them for shooting arrows as it's the most highly prized wood for bows. the wood is gorgeous. Osage Orange | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwoods) where is this tree then?
-
often called a hedge apple or horse apple too. Maclura pomifera didn't know it grew in this country.

is an industrial grinder a bit too big???
se7enthdevil replied to se7enthdevil's topic in Woodcraft Forum
i know how to do it beau but i just wanted to upgrade to a nice wide stone if i could, i'd also like to do kitchen knives and a 3-4" wide stone would be excellent for that. -
Any reason not to mill Ash that has been down a while?
se7enthdevil replied to Ghettoblaster's topic in Milling Forum
it's only a couple of inches off the end so they should not be moaning about that. if it was cut in half i could understand it but you are simply accessing the state of the wood and it's colour. by the sounds of it this log should be ok so i think it's worth the risk. -

i have considered a CBN wheel but i was hoping to get something wider than 40mm for my plane irons which are up to 3" wide and i have skews wider than 40mm too. i'f i can get myself a good industrial single phase gadget then i'm going to look in to making my own with that huge surface grinding wheel i bought. -
i'm going to say lime then.
-
if the yew is nice and orange then i would go for one of the maples as it contrasts excellently.
-
i have a welding friend who should be able to knock that up or any other legs you'd like. give me a bell if you want it done.
-
james, give me a close up of the wood and i may be able to help.
-
why don't you put this on the side of your van:lol::lol: .
-
i was 4 when this struck and still have images of trees laying all over the place in my head. even as a child i must have been a heavy sleeper as i slept right through it.

se7enthdevil replied to Ghettoblaster's topic in Milling Forum
before you decide how good or bad it is you should get 2-3" taken off the end as that will tell you what state it's in. if it's off the ground then i reckon it'll be fine. -
i am a trained joiner and as long as i can get hold of the wood i'll make it to your specifications. so yes i can make waney edged tables. do you have an image in mind (internet picture) of the sort of table you are after?
