So in and around my home town pretty much every ash of any size has been felled in the last month it's changed the outlook of some areas ,you don't realise how many ash there were till they're gone .I understand ash dieback is taking hold ,but this just seems drastic. I understand there's no stopping the infection, but it's quite saddening to see all these ash just disappear so soon

  13. No lathe, just a ms 150 using the tip of the bar and then sanded them and yes birch it is , amazed at the colour they ended after a good oiling
  14. So I made these with a 150 and dug the centre's out and then a lot of sanding ,surprised by the colour they ended .any ideas what timber ? I know, I took it down
