some nice bowls been added recently so well done to all. i've finally got back round to turning bowls rather than skittles so will be adding a few of mine again.
-
it's not been quite that much work for me. drag the tree round the back ring up the log split the log with an axe bag the log take into the house a year later burn the log once a week empty the ash.
-
pictures would help mate. if it has star shake they can just fall apart. how big is the log?
-
others are the experts here but i don't think those bins are in the right place and the foot traffic around there looks to have compacted the ground a bit.
-
someone off of a woodturning forum i go on said that he thought that mike had already sold that mill a couple of weeks ago, did it fall through?
-
considering the size and straightness of the log it does narrow it down a bit so finding it may not be a lost cause.

just seen this on youtube and could not stop laughing... [ame] [/ame]

i'd be interested to see a pic of a hop hornbeam as i don't think i've ever seen one before. i only knew it was a hornbeam as there are a few near me but also i had a customer that needed some timber from one so i became fairly clued up on what they look like. googling oxford arboretum it comes up with this, http://www.harcourt-arboretum.ox.ac.uk/visitor-info

done that, i'm 17+ in the buff.
-
when i started splitting logs for our fire in 2011 i weighed about 13 1/2 stone. 4 years of it and i now weigh 17 1/2 stone.
-
i thought the hop hornbeam seeds look like a hops plant, hence the name. these look like a normal hornbeam seed don't they?
-
when it was dropped did the estate manager not know what it was?
-
it must rip your heart out when you mill something but can't keep it.
-
this one is a hornbeam.
-
good point, the name of the estate may aid me in finding out what it is.
-
yep,to keep it as white as possible it should go straight into the kiln. the yanks are pretty keen on their holly so they would be the best to ask.
-
now this one looks the dogs ghoulies.... Bandsaw sawmill horizontal forestor 150 not woodmizer | eBay if only i had a yard and a spare 25k sitting about.
-
seal the ends very thickly and dry them very slowly. don't leave them outside exposed to sun and air like you would a normal timber.

anyone ever write a rebuttal to kiln drying
se7enthdevil replied to Logsnstuff's topic in Firewood forum
i make all my own firewood and leave it to dry for at least 12 months in the sun and wind. i've never actually taken a moisture meter to it so i might try it this year. lots of my wood is offcuts from my skittles business which are kiln dried and i've seen no difference between that and air dried logs. i bring in logs and put them in front of the fire anyway so they get a bit of a roasting/drying before they go in the stove anyway and if i get the occasional bit that is obviously wet i leave it there a few nights before it goes in. drying wood with a source of heat or wind that is already there is fine, kilning them or using electricity sounds daft to me. -
could be a hickory?
-
i think a person would have to be on acid to appreciate the vid.
-
try fire... a small puddle of petrol should do the trick.

cut it into quarters, then you can alaskan mill boards of of each face. 30" quartersawn boards would be great. -
sounds like you need to get in touch with your local sawmill.
