Ok. Might giv a ring then

if you mean power poles, or telegraph poles, most people I know who have built barns or sheds use them at there native sizes. but that will depend of course on the size your building. as for milling, never tried them, but the few I have cut even with a new chain as a normal log, they are quite hard. not sure of what timber species these creosoted poles are but they will be hard going milling. on that note, if they are treated the dust produced may be highly toxic. simon

I am always seeing this as a recommendation (milling months) and I can see the virtues in this with regarding timber movement, and other defects that come up for discussion quite frequently. especially this year with one of our better summers. But, what I cant grasp is that if all sawyers and mills worked to this mantra, then surely they would only work for two months a year, and I am pretty sure Mr Copford and son, don't only work for two months a year! is this something specific for Scotland only? just askin

yes PM received thanks. -
i had excellent service from parcelforce the other day. had my 070 delivered in superb time, in fact it was quicker than i paid for. £25 i think from Leeds to Sussex. ideal.!!!! looking forward to the Bar and AV gloves coming in Rob, may order those stones up for you ship out at the same time?

walnut tree is about to be felled! What to do with it?
Big Beech replied to abergavenny walnut's topic in Milling Forum
I vote to leave it be, unless serious root issues with the house? -
yes, you should always root prune. or leave if damaged. why? because it encourages new and stronger root systems. with regards to any additional mycroryzal additives, your pretty much wasting your time if the tree is coming from a woodland environment as it will have the needed fungi attached with the tree and leaf mould its been grown in.

exactly hat, certainly wasn't trying to kick up a storm. I know from posting my own photographs, it takes time that some one has to pay for

stand corrected. didn't scroll the screen enough. always the down side to havin a biggun:001_smile:

the only possible issue may be, that like Christmas you always get something you don't want. so, my suggestion would be a list of available sundries to choose from. as I have no need for files and or small key ring crabs etc. however, with regards to postage I have yet to buy more stones for the electric grinder until I have something larger to buy. as I cant see ( no dig) how it costs a fiver to send small items, yet I can get a large 3kg winch with free delivery for a tenner off the bay? however Rob, I may well order some before my sugi bar and gloves come out, if the postage cost could be removed somehow??

have a 110 tipper. love it. never ever broken down (majorly), serviced every six months as any working vehicle should be during holiday time. it is my primary vehicle, but i like smaller jobs anyway and have local tip sites so never need much running too and fro.
