Copford sawmill

260 cube we worked it out to be!!

Well the elm flooring is finnaly being laid, then I'll be using the pv67 again.

Thanks again for the advice 👍

Tut Tut!!!

 

 

 

No pads under the hiab legs......

Lol. .

Well it's back at the yard now, it's actually a really nice bit if timber!!

Can you email this to [email protected]

If we can arrange our haulier to pass by we could be very interested as we are only in horam

I've done 3, should be enough? Yeah easy to apply bit my word it stinks!! Might have to evacuate the family when I do the floors in it

And a bit of elm flooring with a sorry mug just to test how much abuse we can put this pv67 through. Still a bit reluctant to let the wife on the work top yet though ha ha

Pv67 has now been applied! Fingers crossed

This sort of thing

What about a pad sander? We contemplated one not sure how good they are for big wide boards?

Very nice, really smooth and quick cut

Thanks for all the advice

I have had good results off my table with osmo but it just hasent worked on the worktop, trouble is it's a high traffic area as they say. I did pick up some pv67and I'll try it and I also have some solid elm flooring which I am going to try it on. Read some really good stuff on it earlier so watch this space

As Rob said I find most cooking oils go rank after a while, I would use polyurethane varnish. I find le tonkis very good but can be a bit bitty but a light wet sand and recoat solved that for me. Is your sink sealed to the worktop.

Yes it was mastic down. I will just sand it down gain completely poss use a white spirit to make sure no oil is left and yes a polyurethane seal seems to be the way forward.

Thanks all for the advise!! Social media working at it's best

I am surprised you mill english timber and then use some foreign wood !? lol ... I do not know much about Iroko but one of the most resilient finishes to apply is Rustins 2 pack a kind of liquid melamine , after applying thinly , and when fully dry it will look better if you sand it back with quite fine abrasive 320 perhaps ..Try a sample piece if you have any spare first ..

Lol should have seen my dads face when it rocked up in the yard, we already have a lot if oak and elm (all English and local) and so wanted something a bit different.

Yes I know about the oils hence can't use some preservers, this is the beauty though if wood, if in doubt you can sand it out.

Thanks mark I'll take a look

Hi all we've had an iroko worktop in our kitchen now for less than 6 months and I'm about to resend it for the second time! We first used cooking oil, was told this would be satisfactory for water marks etc.. It wasent. I then re sanded back to it's original and used osmo top oil.. Over Christmas I have not used it's getting funny again? As in looks old. Can anyone reconend anything else they would use on an iroko worktop? I have been told to try howdens worktop oil and dealer but thought I'd just ask here first.

The second photo is an area that's never touched and is how I intended the main work bit to stay

Ha ha accidently edited and uploaded, good video either way ha ha

Technically it can be classed as a crack which is frowned upon when grading.

If, on the other hand you are looking for wide waney edge timber in the raw form to choose your own bit, you won't find better in the south than these guys.https://www.facebook.com/Copford-sawmill-132272686819508/?fref=ts&__nodl

Thank you.

We have plenty of wide slabs but like above has said they are in raw form

A few photos of slabs in the yard and a few after cleaning up

Ash can discolour if left cut down too long but to some people that's how they prefer it

We are experiencing a shortage Down in Sussex! Enough to keep us busy but yes it is stating to run out.

Not very burry just some very wide trees
