    that's basicly what i do with all the lumps and chunks i get from people like phil, john and anyone else who drops wood off at my door.

    do you mean like this one. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnLGpMZROFw[/ame]

    justin131 has been kind enough to supply some hollandica but i'll have some paulownia. how much is there?
  4. se7enthdevil
    i do have a bit of q,suber but it is quite spalted and from a small tree so if you have a bit from an unspalted larger specimen then that would be great. any crataegus will do as i have none. i like liquidambar for turning, how much do you have?
  5. se7enthdevil
    yes he has quercus ilex. check out the website and if you have something that is not on the list of botanical names then we'll have it...

    can you give me a call about the whitebeam. i've been looking for one for ages and could be very interested. tomorrow afternoon would be ok. 01628666191

    good to see you on board pete, there are loads of useful and helpful people on this site mate, i'm sure there are a couple of plonkers but they are few and far between. by the way if you are ever over my way again my log pile is getting too big and you would be welcome to raid it.

    ulmus laevis is one that i'd be interested in yes. bog oak too as i've only ever had a tiny bit for a project and didn't have any left to send to the states. postage may be a problem from croatia though? do you come to the uk at all?
  9. se7enthdevil
    that's the sort of thing i'm after, how much is there left?
  10. se7enthdevil
    cheers mate, i've nearly finished your elm and i'll get some pics up asap.

    firewood is worth more now but it will never be worth as much as blanks or turning timber.
  12. se7enthdevil
    has anyone else got any samples?
  13. se7enthdevil
    you shouldn't have to make the blank. personally i am very happy to buy wood it's just that tree surgeons seem to have had such terrible times selling wood to turners that everyone thinks we are all stingy old farts that think they should be given the wood. i would happily pay double firewood prices and i'll do the cutting into blanks or roughs. if you have some nice bits i'd advertise it on your local woodturning club website or phone around a few turners. put up plenty of pics.
  14. se7enthdevil
    just a small block will do. the samples he likes are 4"x4"x1" as if cut from a milled board of timber. i can cut these myself and am perfectly happy to buy branches or rounds as on occasion i can give him a photo of a turned bowl as well. do you have any interesting woods?
  15. se7enthdevil
    could it just be that with the inevitable wear you get on all the metal the bits the band rides on they are just too worn to stop the bands jumping???
  16. se7enthdevil
    looks to be a good 2 1/2' wide. what trunk length before branching? should look great once milled.
  17. se7enthdevil
    how old is this particular stick then? also what diameter?
  18. se7enthdevil
    i would have thought the close proximity of the wall and the metal will always give you a smell of burning paint. get it back to brick...

    hi all, as some of you may know i have been a contributor to the wood database website and intend to send another box of samples over the pond to add to the large array of woods that are already listed. can you help supply odd species of shrub or tree? i am looking for anything out of the ordinary. looking for any willows hop hornbeam, hazels, southern beeches, strange oak species, elms, zelkovas and nettle trees, fig or katsura tree, magnolias, hawthorns, rowans and unusual sorbus species, unusual prunus species, pagoda and strange acer's, paulownia, mana ash, and any unusual conifers please if you think you can help the please contact me through my website. samples need to be fairly clear and unspalted from a tree at least 8" wide. of course if any other exotice timbers are kicking around in your garage then i may be interested in them too.
  20. se7enthdevil
    well i don't know the cause but i reckon the grain must look quite spectacular inside. is it just one you saw or is it being felled?
  21. se7enthdevil
    someone has put a great sound track to this one, i'm pissing myself laughing here...:lol::lol::lol: . [ame] [/ame]
  22. se7enthdevil
    if anyone has done this then please put some videos up. . [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame]

    i don't know what i'm thinking but i just don't think it's a beech or birch. i don't know if a pendula form of any populus species even exist but it looks like populus foliage so i thought i'd throw it in the ring.
  24. se7enthdevil
    close up of the leaves and bark may help but could it be a form of populus? the leaves look shiney and i've seen poplars with shiney leaves but not birch or beech.

    every year i ask santa for this lovely lady to turn up on my doorstep. no luck as yet. .
