Firewood. High probability of metal nails and fencing in there somewhere!

I had burr Oak that was similar to yours posted above, though not quite as big but big enough to get the 090 on the move. Mine was dead standing timber, had my eye on it for a while. Plucked up courage to ask the landlord if I could have it. On my birthday two years ago set a day aside and got stuck in. Felling cut nice and low, back cut in. The sawdust changed colour mid cut, tree fell and was a nasty hole right up the middle. Appears it had honey fungus.only managed to get half dozen boards. Yours appears to of blown over, with darkness on the roots...... Good luck!

So, have seen this posted a few time and never thought I would be asking the question! Customer has a walnut tree, how much is it worth So, excluding all of the variables what's the going price per cubic feet? I am told it's big, but will wait and see on Sunday what's what! Anyone want to buy it?

Got some 4" thick slabs, probably 2ftx8ft could measure up if interested. X4

Hitting a parked vehicle and not leaving details

My wife's van was involved in a collision whilst waiting to turn right at a junction. She had to cross to the right and therefore avoid the on coming traffic. Bloke pulls out from the junction and 'T' bone the van on the door pillar and is written off. Man accepts liability. An insurance claim is put in, a valuation completed at £1790. Hire car arranged by our insurance for 1 month. Cheque appears in the post £1300. Told to stuff it, I want what you told me it was worth. Meanwhile numnut has not informed his insurance company and is now denying involvement,, but we have pictures of his car at the scene with subsequent damage. His insurers mucking everyone around. I get a full cheque after hire company lawyer gets involved. Our premium goes up threefold for unsettled insurance claim. Hire company sends there invoice and is not paid. They not very happy at All! Now going to court! Why I have no idea, guess we will find out in march!!! -
Found this, might be of interest to see how it works! Internal Combustion in Super Slow Motion
-
Just a thought and suggestion, but I have three bars available, one short, medium and one long. It appears that the bar is overly long and sapping much of the saws power on excess bar length. If milling small stuff I would suggest investing in another bar!
-
Soft as s***e and twice as nasty! For what purpose other than wasting time are you milling it for, or is it spalted or a rare Willow?
-
Yes, sharpen both teeth and scoreing cutter. You will go through normal files at an increased rate as the the teeth are harder than normal chain. I us the granberg grinder and stones. Saves my elbows!
-
Because it's been open to oxygen which has caused the reaction. But as you stated filings can cause this too, but most likely is that somewhere at sometime there has been a foreign body within it
-
Looks like Beech? Good luck in getting that off with a pressure washer!!! I would leave as is, and Danish oil over top would look dandy!
-
We have springs in our field, as certainly don't look like that! Possible an old sceptic pipe that has decayed? Or no smell? But water looks like "grey water" associated with it. I would find a local dowser and see what or where it leads as it appears they are all in a row?
-
No pictures on this note book I don't think, but this is its baby brother, 070 However it will be coming out soon for an Oak milling job soon
-
Lovely sounding and large mature tree. Shame its to be felled just because it's pippy. Which I am guessing is unlikely to yield significant $ against its environmental importance. Just my thoughts of course!
-
We have a few fruits we picked up at fair's. Apple made from an oak burr, lemon made from something yellow! An pear made from a Banksia's seed pod, and a few small cherries. And another pear from Yew. In a nice wavy edge spalted birch burr bowl
-
Has anyone found a solution to the light source yet?
-
Call me old fashioned, but a t light is wider than 16mm, and an auger bit is in my view a wrong tool for the job. I'd use a forstner bit as mentioned or if being tight as I am use what I have which is a spade bit of 30mm
-
Anothet project! I was looking for inspiration for a table lamp. Looks like ive found it!
-
Something like this?
-
As much as I love land rover's owning two, that's a waste of a good bit of beech!!
-
Great thanks
-
Alder is knly orange when fresh cut, it was used as mentionex for piles underwater and revetment work for stabilising river banks etc. But it had to be submerged and used soon after felling. Clogs are not orange as the timber finally drys natural colour, so expect the boards to be the same

Thanks Chris, As and when i get around to it i will make contact. Any pix?
