if that's coming out do not let it be logged up... bowls or planks should be in order for such a rare sized specimen...
-
very interested in the timber if you prune or fell them...
-
come on mick get your butt back round here and we can play about on the lathe all day to work out any problems you are having turning.
-
i presume it's a Gränsfors but i don't know my axe makers so could be completely wrong.
-
if you log that up i will have you shot sir..... seriously, someone should mill that...
-
it looks like it's in the cypress family to me. how heavy was it. if you can take a picture of the endgrain it would really help.
-
have you no offcuts from milling it??? scab boards???

Unknown Trees... Dry Stone Wall... Can I grow a Beech hedge?
se7enthdevil replied to slippy's topic in General chat
i think i was confusing the red tint on the upper part of the tree made by the fact it seems to have been taken at sunset for the red bark on scotts pine. -
i think you'd be surprised at how well those tyres will last, he seems to have put a coating underneath the blade so i don't think it's on the rubber as such and the teeth are lined up with the tread so that they aren't cutting rubber. well designed or coincidence???

Unknown Trees... Dry Stone Wall... Can I grow a Beech hedge?
se7enthdevil replied to slippy's topic in General chat
can't answer the other questions but i can tell you that they are scots pine trees. -
this is the problem with common names in my opinion. if i had said either silver wattle or mimosa which are common names for this tree then i could have been referring to about 50 different species that commonly use it in their name. i use genus and species to avoid any complication. anyway, i want all the credit:001_tt2::001_tt2:

eucalyptus could be a good shout guys but i thought that it should have a scaley/peely bark?
-
i agree with that as the acacia i had was not that smooth, it had markings all over it. here is a pic of the bark .
-
if they have the leaves to look at then the acacia looked like this. .
-
can't be 100% sure but it looks strikingly like an acacia that i was given by phil71. turned out to be Acacia dealbata. that was 1' across and only 15 years old.
-
looks like stubby was right first time mate, field maple it is. acer campestre to be precise and is stunning when used for anything except logs...
-
plane a small section and take a close up then i can tell you... field maple sound very likely to be fair. any pics of the bark?
-
yes ok i did not mean the same species. the term buckeye commonly refers to any of these species. Aesculus Glabra, yellow buckeye Aesculus Flava, Ohio buckeye Aesculus Pavia, red buckeye Aesculus Californica, California buckeye Aesculus sylvatica, painted buckeye Aesculus Parviflora, bottlebrush buckeye all these grow in north america.
-
not sure about the seria bit of the name but buckeye is what the americans call horse chestnut. the yellow and black sounds like it was spalted, not sure where you would get any these days.
-
kev is a nice guy but you'll be paying through the nose for what he sells. pity really as i would use him alot if he were cheaper.
-
i did not think we grew any juglans nigra in this country at all... where do they grow some?
-
unless that tree has been standing dead for years it will have been more than 99. its 102y since 1913 and it's about 15'+ in that pic.
-
might be able to help... i'm in taplow and would take them myself but i've too much firewood and not enough storage, however my neighbour has just installed a wood burner and is on the lookout for wood. i'll ask tomorrow and see what they say. i might take some myself as i can give it to my sister.
-
i don't believe that you will get black walnut with a waney edge. like most american imports black walnut comes in all square edged boards with the wane cut off. european (or english) walnut can be obtained with the waney edge still attached so i recommend you check out a lumber yard like glenmere or whitmores.

so far as i know cedar shingles are not to be treated nor can you treat them with anything to do what your boss wants. they are a natural product untreated as they are perfectly weatherproof on their own. if he wants them to look like new then he is to get new ones or sand or scrape the ones in place. they are supposed to age naturally and grey up to that fantastic silver colour like you get on your garden furniture.
