the price is $35 US and he's had 2000 copies printed. they are to be sold on amazon but a few (3-4) can be send to me. one will be mine but let me know if anyone else wants one.

hi all, my friend over the pond has finally finished his book version of the well known website page The Wood Database and he is sending me a book over as i have contributed loads to help him out and i just wondered if anyone would like a copy as he can send them as a single package and i can send them on to whoever wants one. i will let you know what he is charging asap. obviously this would need to cover shipping too.

Thinking of a new name for the Loggywood kindling business?
se7enthdevil replied to gensetsteve's topic in Firewood forum
how about "splinters r us":thumbup: seriously though, "strike a light kindling" -
well that's a glass half empty answer if ever i heard one, did you have a bad experience doing exactly this?
-
14" would be ok i guess. when do you think you'll be doing more?
-
get a mobile mill in mate, as long as you can sell the timber or use it yourself it should be well worth the money.
-
sound very fair mate, how long is the blade?
-
what you charging?

where do you buy your bars and chains from?
se7enthdevil replied to horticultur-al's topic in Chainsaws
if you want a good set of bars and chains then ask the tower of london where they got theirs made:thumbup::thumbup: -
now hold on just a minute there, i said it looked like it, what my eyes see and what is right are two very different things.
-
what did you cut the holm oak in to and how long have they been cut?
-
just flicked through my book (the complete guide to trees, mitchel and more) and can see the one labeled patagonian cypress is a dead ringer... i'd be interested in a sample of the timber if it turns out to be that species.
-
looks like the sheep version of fungi.
-
that amount might just justify getting a mobile bandmill in for the day to mill it up.
-
i'd have 4x4" for my table legs and if the holm oak is 3x3" or bigger and has no splits then i'll take your bearers too.
-
if it's 36" then i'd be tempted to cut it all into nice quartersawn boards myself.
-
if there are 10+ft3 then £60 is not a problem in my book. how about i have a pallet of holm and this oak? i can use the normal oak for table legs and the holm oak for my skittles experiment.
-
are there any quartersawn boards there john? i may be interested if there are.

Burning dry firewood but with high resin content?
se7enthdevil replied to Lucan's topic in Firewood forum
the perfect advice, keep it hot and you have nothing to worry about. -
Burning dry firewood but with high resin content?
se7enthdevil replied to Lucan's topic in Firewood forum
was the mc from the surface or did you split a bit and then measure it? it might still be a bit high in the middle? -
Ever Wish You'd Picked a Different Avatar?
se7enthdevil replied to Haironyourchest's topic in General chat
i always liked pup's avatar as you don't often see two rhino's humping.. mine is a bit boring with just me and two porch posts but i could not think of much else to put up when i joined. i could put up my tenpin bowling score of 300? -
Any briquette makers out their want my sawdust
se7enthdevil replied to gensetsteve's topic in Firewood forum
if you produce that much would it not be wise to buy your own briquette gadget? -
where are you and how long are the beams? if you paid £1000 work out how many ft3 you have milled and add your time in to it+ maintenance of saws etc and try to work out a price that will at least break even. the furniture route is a good idea.
-
i'd look for a partial refund as £1000 should be for good timber not worm eaten butts. i don't have a link to a website selling at £15 ft3 in oak because the green timber i have bought has always been some sort of deal between me and the miller not through normal retail at lumber yards. perhaps you could put up a picture of the worm so we can see how bad it is for ourselves. it may still be good enough for exterior uses like garden benches or gates?
-
any green wood i buy is £15 but structural oak may be more...
