Nice boards
-
Interesting ideas, thank you. not sure if I have the right timber for this yet. Looking to do something at some stage
-
Lovely stuff, minimal shake like that you’ll find in all timbers. Even ring shake not to bad if making table tops. Rot not an issue in this day and age. Very easy to work and stable. these where air dried for a year and a half to 18% and I kilned them to 6-10%. see my other posts

Seen someone selling boards similar to mine in size KD for £45 mine are more expensive than that green and so should yours. Average price I’ve seen Yew is £45 a cubic ft

Two Yew trunks. These have been left laying in a customers wood for 10years the first picture and 13 years the second. loss of sapwood however the heart wood was exceptionally hard going and very dusty. Minor decay in the centre board but overall excellent 👌 mean these on the F2 and the latter at 20” was at maximum width. The smaller trunk came in around 16”

Definitely not ash, red oak I reckon

I paid £350 a day for man and woodmizer for a day on-site.

600, I’ll do it for that and take away the saw dust!! be cheaper for them to buy planks surely?

I’ve always wanted to try my hand at making one. I now have the timber and a router and bits. And a friend who owns a glass shop. can someone explain to me please what is the best way to secure the glass in the wood in the back? and post any you have made, love to see various designs👍

Not milling, but some off cuts of some of the lesser spalted burr horse chestnut boards that I have, just the small ones. Thrown these in the kiln when it was open the other week. dried to less than 5% in about 3 days and to be fair stayed pretty true to how they went in. levelled off on my router sled. just water thrown on. can’t wait to get the main boards in the kiln.
