I have a friend who bought all his kit (3 tractors, implements, unimog, truck) in Europe and says he saved a massive amount, not all new though

Red signs saying “ temporary road closure, long delays possible, please seek alternative route”, we have been using these for quiet rural lanes for years on highways departments recommendation.

Don’t know about prices but leylandii is very durable

Environmentally friendly packaging - good idea or just looks bad.

Yep dockside, Gorleston/Gt Yarmouth I think

[emoji15]sorry, lol, I promise not to log it (all[emoji33]) Didn’t know it had similar properties to Lebanon, thought it was shit, I guess because we have worked on several that have collapsed with weak branch unions. Sadly, for you, I’m in Norfolk, otherwise you’d be welcome to some. Coming to a wedding in your neck o the woods in June but don’t fink I’ll get trunk in the motor[emoji3]!

Thanks squaredy, that is helpful and incredibly ironic as I spent a morning with a couple of chaps from Lowestoft boatbuilding college, on the estate I work on, looking for branch unions and a 7m oak butt for a project of theirs! Didn’t think of it for boat building as it’s so dense, but I guess it’s good for a keel. £20 a cube would be a fair profit for me and was roughly what I had in mind ( I didn’t want to underprice or seem too greedy!) ps it’s definately greenheart (chlorocardium rhodei)!

Nice collection [emoji106]

Yes I had read about that! Though I presume these are probably safe as are already sawn and old (they’re finished with an adze)

Is go with lesser stag beetle, particularly if it’s an ash. -
I’ve been offered some reclaimed greenheart beams for a good price but im not sure what to do with em! They’re 35’ x16”x16” (10 of em) and all very clean. Even at the reasonable price offered it’s a substantial investment so ideally a quick turnaround would b good, but are they more valuable as beams or boards? I regularly see boards on eBay at about £80/90 a cube but I also know greenheart is very hard on blades (both band and circular), and toxic splinters, so re sawing could potentially be expensive? But are they not also high value as beams? I can’t see they’d sell for 5k a beam (goin on about 62cube per beam). So what would their value b per cube in beam form, would £20 a cube b unreasonable? All thoughts n considerations appreciated!

How about Atlantic cedar (blue) does it have any similar uses? I have a couple of 30” trunks and not sure whether worth milling or just firewood or is it any good for carving?
