Cool , but I think the middle should have some colour in it maybe a round bit of wood dyed yellow or something, I could see people buying them .

Hi I have been using it an d so far so good I haven’t yet given anything a good whomp with it yeth jit works ace with chisels, Hi Steve what one of those woods you mentioned would you choose for a mallet head Cheers Mark
-
Hi K, naw as the head is the wrong way round I will just use it till it breaks then make a new head that’s the right way round , and then put some bands round it if I need to it would look cool with bands round it though ,brass may look cool with the green heart , I would like an old Lignum bowling ball to make a mallet head out of ,or some iornwood Cheers Mark

Or if you can get it use greenheart it polished up really nicely and they use it for pier pilings so is ace in and around water a carpenter I know made a spiral staircase out of it that descended to a swimming pool it was stunning
-
You could always resin coat it and then no worries you could use what you like
-
Looking good it’s going to be ace when done , liking the gantry crane I could do with one of those in my yard
-
Wow you will be able to swim in that cool as , have a look at crystal clear water a friend of mine looks after a big pond and he treated it with it when he first started and now it’s nice and clean to swim in ,not saying yours isn’t but just thought I would share the knowledge, good luck looks ace wish I had the land to do something like that

Hi Jon that’s what it looks like I will end up doing we do have a big wood burner in the workshop so it will not go to waist, but it’s quite rare so thought somebody might want it especially for Free
-
Yes but have you ever seen gangs of bright red worms , worming their way across your yard , I know it’s bloody stupid but it’s been bugging me for yrs How do the little buggers get there
-
But how do they get under logs sat on concrete
-
Oh no don’t make it into 2 inch big chunky coffee table just cut off enough for 2 legs hidden casters so you can move it , big mortise and tenon joints it would be ace
-
Ha ha ha but I don’t want a house full of worms bloody dropped the iPad and it bounced off the coffee table it still works at the mo but not sure how long it will last
-
Alright I did say it was stupid I will take some pics , bloody dropped my IPad and cracked the screen real bad, that was stupid as well need another one if anyone has one they want to part with
-
So at the risk of sounding totally daft ,here goes ....so, my yard is concrete so why, if I have to move a log that’s been there for a while (especially upright) why are there always worms underneath??? I never see stealth worms wriggling across the yard, they don’t live in the bloody log so where do they come from??? how do they get there??? are they really an alien intelligence that’s mastered teleporting, just waiting their time to change shape and take over ....or am I reading too much science fiction???
-
If you ain’t going to be happy with it don’t use it or you might always think why the f##k did I use that it would make an ace coffee table
-
After a stenner if anyone knows where ones hiding..?
gobbypunk replied to Boy English's topic in Milling Forum
Nice mobile Stenner not seen many of them cool bit of kit -
Yep that was my thought or actually it was F##k it
-
Hi Jon if I had a tow bar and a flat trailer no worries but that’s the problem and the timber isn’t worth spending much money on so might just have to tell the tree surgeon who has been paid to remove it that I can’t move the last of it it will probably piss him off but what else can I do
-
I do hope you all like my blue Mohawk but my chainsaw hat does play havoc with the spikes
