looking for possibly some heavily burred elm, or better still all burr with superb coloration if possible ideal planks would be up to around 30-35" x 2.5 x 8" deep. must be dry, ready to work with a MC of 12% or lower or able to be kilned to 10% anyone have anything, pictures would be gr8 and of course the sort of money you would be looking for. TIA simon

nice Beech, but that Oak is rotten as a pear!! white rot in the center there. it will dry out and disintegrate in front of your very eyes. soft and nasty too! -

whats the hardest timber we have growing in Britain???
Big Beech replied to se7enthdevil's topic in Woodcraft Forum
my choice is hawthorn. after all in days gone by they used it for high lift wedges -
looks gr8. i am no expert, but if its indoors and dry (workshop) than i would not let the elements take there toll and take up moisture only to take it back indoors again?
-
easier solution, rather than waiting for your wood to dry, boil them.
-
lovely wood, the knots are very distinctive. Looking at the milling, i am guessing the bar and mill may be a tad over engineered for that size tree ;-)
-
I have seen many stunning bowls turned from the branch sections. Like big orange eyes in the wood. A turners dream i beleive...

sounds bout right, but would question soil price? is that with concrete in it and such you wouldnt buy 2t for that down here. i would also look at a better substrate type. here we can get double compost, a blend of reused garden material and arb wast mixed with sand. a very good mixture for growing veg in and have used it extensively for turf laying.

Revolutionary British-made log mill product launched
Big Beech replied to john the saw's topic in Milling Forum
I will just say that reading the posts that some of you have answered a little harsh in my view given the fact that john has yet to show it in use. At that point a fairer assesment can be made of the saw. Personally i have no experience of milling with a mizer so cannot comment on thus as such but given its marketing for small individuals who perhaps own woodland and does not need 30k of mizer this may well suit them. I wish John good luck. Simon -
