It is the full longitudinal lenght, the more I've looked at it today whilst wire brushing out the burr, I think I'll cut in to quarters, then I'll level each sufficiently on one face and then I'll leave a gap in between each quarter when i do the resin. The cup over the length is 38mm in the center

7ft just under I think without measuring
-
Sitting here thinking about it, I could I suppose cut in to a quater and resin infill the joints to make it look part of it ?
-
This is longitudinal cupping, so same procedure, cut in half?

Some of you may recall 5 years ago a nice big burr oak I I milled, I've now taken a look at the boards and the majority have stayed within tolerance for working with one way or another. One or two of the outer boards with some lovely figure has about an 1-1.5" cup in the centre and with the board only 2" tops not enough to run out on a router sled. So, I am thinking or soaking the dry board in water for a few weeks again, then applying some weight as required to hold fast until It dries. Is this a reasonable assumption? I may or may not get the full curvature out but it would make working with epoxy possible I'd hope. Its certainly to good to throw away so any advice most welcome ?

Thanks, I've watched my fair share of videos on the tube too. Anyone have recommendations for a cheap router and what type of bit I need? Trying to keep the whole build as cheap as possible, as I'll need everythin from scratch. Ebay seems to list many varieties, what do I ideally need?

I've some big oak rounds I am thinking of doing some table tops with. My plan is to ring them in to 5" disk and machine back to 3-4". Firstly, do you think the rings would hold and not split down the grain? I'd then cover and fill gaps with resin, sand then clear apoxy to finish. Any insight welcomed and any pictures of sled or table rounds.

Yes aware, bought from them in the past. Looking for other views.

Absolutely ideal ? Thanks

Does anyone have a parts list for the modern av update?
-
They hold their values? New they are 11+vat, second hand 7ish. What is the cube out put with two blokes on 8-10" timbers you reckon on an 8 hr shift?

Cool, is that one in your avatar?

Thanksfor your reply, very helpful ?

Seem to think I've asked this before, but cant recall and or find the post. If you have 1 cubic meter raw of timber, what is the expected volume once processed in an ibc taking in to account randomised stacking. Hope that makes sense!
