  1. Looks like it maybe, a lot of woods in Sussex of course but maybe the menz near Petworth? Looks semi familiar
  2. It will be like Xmas Ian, that nice colourful wrapping
  3. and ive got some big beech boards too!! find the post in the alsaskan mill, 900mm wide too
  4. Workers chop down couple's 60-year-old tree by mistake | Daily Mail Online
  5. I like rustic looking stuff, so not worried too much. But yes smaller boards thicknessed according to needs is the way forward. Will, thanks for the offer, no dice though no room. Should of sold it to Ollie before he moved to Wales ;-)
  6. Why not use one of those big floor planers\ sanders? If needed I've got a friend who has a 24" planer, but that ain't much help for my 900mm beech boards!!
  7. How can someone give details if major details are ommited from the post?
  8. Burn it
  9. OK thanks. Shame bout p2g. They seemed a good price with TNT at 13.78 Jon, that may be an option, I'll ask Ian. Thanks all
  10. You can speed it up considerably by boiling, about a month. I've done burr oak and cherry bowls Boiling Green Wood to Reduce Drying Defects In Bowls and Platters
  11. Last night I tried to send Ian a plank of yew. Myhermes turned up in a metro car which obviously isn't going to get an 84" bit of wood in. I asked about a van collection but was declined due to excessive dimensions. I've looked at parcel force but they want £38, ipostparcels won't take it either. Who or how do you send timber? Thanks
  12. Since when can you not use an extension ladder:confused1: I've got the longest triple extension ladder you can get and its great for small oak reductions
  13.  

    <p>Hi Steve,</p>

    <p>What's going rate for fresh milled beech. You may of spotted my post, but may have someone interested it.</p>

    <p>Thanks Simon</p>

     

  14. What, like the ones in the first picture stubby
  15. Ian, managed to get a board out.
  16. The tree blew over from honey fungus I think October time last year. Moved with telehandler and propped as seen, so off ground since then. All, or majority of planks for sale, dimensions as noted in first post. 900 wide is a good dining room table size! Simon
  17. No Jon Bought from the big E. Wanted a brace 070av & 090av!
  18. Few extra images
  19. <p>Thanks, and how do u wrap it up on a pallet? As I don't have the fancy plastic tape thingy!</p>

  20. Got a few more, not on my laptop yet.
  21. Didn't you need planning?
  22. A good set of young muscles Jon:wink:
  23. Had this bad boy lined for couple of months now, but had time this week to get it done. Some stunning boards too! 2500*900*50= bloody heavy!!! First day milling with the 070av:biggrin: It was also around 170 yrs old. 29 growth rings per 10cm!!!!
