    The main pros with a narrow band would be the sharpening and setting yourself cheaper than a wide band. Agree with big j. That oak is going to be tough

    Any mill should cope with the timber your looking at... But the biggest factor will be the blades. As long as the blades are set correctly and sharp, most mills will cope. Personally irate wood mizers we have had then for the last 30 years so can't rate them enough and the amount of people out there with then speaks for itself. I personally use a static electric lt40hd and a wm1000 so don't have experience with the fuel engines. But there are plenty out there with advice. If you can dr your own blades like we do that will prove your best add on as you can then find the right blades and profile for your timber.

    Heart on one face isn't usually a problem as the other 3 sides should be clean. If you know what your doing you can usually always hide one face if need be, no point ruining timber just cos of a face. Also if it's for your build and your happy with how your own timber looks the buikders hopefully shouldn't mind

    If it's figured English woodlands may be interested and also david dyke in horam East Sussex

    Agreed, knot size will also come into the strength etc as well as slope of grain. Look up the TRADA rules on grading for strength. It's obly a visual grading bit should help you

    We wouldn't ever get asked to bit timber again if we asked for a refund. If like I say you see it when it's felled you pay less for it but we wouldn't get a refund it's nature of the beast

    It's very difficult when buying timber. The only way we get around this is if we see the tell take signs we pay less and if it's an extra ordinary tree we suspect. we have an understanding that we pay x amount if the worm is bad that's why we paid less and if it's nice we pay a difference then everyone's happy. We often have to pay fellers a few extra quid if a tree turns out nice. All timber is a gamble we have bought parcels before that end up being full of metal or seem to all be dead from half way up. Nothing's a suprise any more lol

    Luckily these weren't as they buggered a whole days sawing and a massive oak tree! No idea they were there till we took one side off.
  15. Copford sawmill sussex
    Contact david dyke in horam East Sussex, he could be interested
  16. Copford sawmill sussex

  17. Copford sawmill sussex

  18. Copford sawmill sussex

    Once this green heart has been sliced it's dried and then used to make drum snares Serenity drums well worth a look
  20. Copford sawmill sussex
    The sawdust is horrible bright yellow and yes supposed to be not the best for you
  21. Copford sawmill sussex
    We must be lucky but never had a real problem cutting green heart? We do change the blades a bit but they cut it lovely. Also the beams we are re sawing are only usually 4-5' 12x12's but even still not had a problem so far. Ekki though is tough as nails and on a 12" face we change the blade every few meters!!
  22. Copford sawmill sussex
    Good luck, there's becoming a shortage or w r cedar. 50 years ago they were planting it ready for now but the last generation didn't plant another wave. Was told if we don't start planting it now then there will be hardly any w r left in England
  23. Copford sawmill sussex
    Wow..........
  24. Copford sawmill sussex
    First nest I've seen this year and the biggest 2' between beams. Lucky sprayed it with rippon and they all buggered off. Sorry buzzed off
