doesnt tung oil come from the tung tree, which produces nuts to prduce your tung oil? if so, perhaps not a wise "food safe" choice for those allergic to nuts

thanks, ive seen the arbotec stuff, just cant justify there prices for an every now and then project. i am looking for a new grinder and these sanding, flappy pad disks. where would suggest i look? or any recomendations? s

I took this chunk off of the trunk as in per the other post. selectively chiseled with the ms200 to remove the old soft wood and a little rotten area, then cut it in half with the idea of making two dish style boles. i did see some roughing ou tools that fit on a 3 or 4" grinder. does anyone have any recomendations? i am going to rough them out, boil them then finish them:001_smile: s

thats interesting. there atr two of the largest sycamores i have seen, just out of shot from this holly on the right. i will also check these shortly. what is the recommended proceedure for this fungus? the tree at this stage shows no ill health in the crown and has a full and dense crown at that... Perhaps reduce to avoid with throw?

i didnt post a previous image, but the tree has been down o so long. ive been working here 8yrs and it was donw then, but never took any notice of it. just wasnt my thing back then:001_smile:

Hi Guys, ive had a look thru my book, but unable to ID this. its like small bubbles, of black crispy puffs. only around the base of the tree, but not all the way around. the tree is approx 18" diameter and approx. 35ft high. thanks, Simon

well we finally had some good weather today and milled up the first "ugly" butt that i discovered a month or so ago. i wasnt expecting much, given the age and condition of it laying nearly on the ground and covered in moss, lichen, ferns and other detritous but we where pleasantly suprised! there are a few pockets of rot, white in clour in the middle edge of one of the planks. should this be treated in anyway, and like wise there is signficant decay on the outer edges where the sap wood was. it is white but hard in places and very mushy wet in others. should i just allow this to dry its course then scurf off with a sanding disk on the angle grinder? if so any recomendations for such a tool or any 40grit disk? simon
