    We milled wood for chap (Reuben) on there tonight

    Same as that. We did a job today reducing 5 ash coppice stools by half : couldn't do anything fancy to make it look good but if we hadn't done it someone else would've! Ironically the nephew of the chap we did it for is on Amazing Spaces on ch 4 as I type this (we felled n milled the thuja for the project:):)

    Yup my dogs love it, they always at the combi cans or hoovering up lumps when i airline side casings etc, sure it can't be good for them!

    The land must be host to some sort of rare flora, surely? I presume it's a piece of open land that has turned into wood thru natural succession, or woodland invaded by sycamore?

    Suss your soil type out first ash (if you didn't have to worry dieback), birch n oak will grow well pretty much anywhere, but chestnut and some others may not fare so well on the wrong soil.

    Funnily enough last week was 'Grown In Britain' which is all about promoting home grown timber (obviously!) and they are running an accreditation scheme which would hi light that your selling uk produced logs, but would cost you and like FSC is probably not worth it for small producers to join and like FSC is the average punter really that bothered?

    Yet more bureaucracy? Really? No feckin thankyou! There's more than enough of this type of organisation, Napoleon really was right about the British!

    Oops must of missed that bit, probably to busy spraying everything with disinfectant every time we went to or from a wood (or I might've been in one of those fine Amsterdam coffee shops unable to speak!

    Yup COBRA struck with all the force of a slow worm on smack. And why was it that when F n M struck the shutters were slammed shut world wide but when our bio security is threatened we can't do owt cos it will affect international trade agreements!.

    Like climbing an eel!

    Can't see how weight attached to mc could work, for example: one month I buy in artic of sycamore @20% mc and the following month I get artic load of oak @20% the weight difference is goin to be quite a lot so if I sell load of sicky to joe blogs he's happy with the 2m3 I deliver but then when I get his repeat order I turn up with say 1.5 of oak I don't think he's goin to be happy in spite of the higher calorific value per log, Also 1m3 (cube) is a technical term, you just need to specify it's loose:)

    Any idea of the cost? They look very expensive!
  20. timbernut
    Zips top of calf Belt loops: yes Brace connectors: yes, with hi back Elasticated with zip fly Hi viz tapes: yes Pockets: zips to access trousers Colour: dark, as they get mucky quicker than jacket (or maybe a choice?) Price: if they work I'm not too fussed!

  22. timbernut

    While not a huge fan of imported products,like you describe, I have to disagree: I used to make wattle hurdles but just couldn't get enough materials to keep up with demand and some blocks if coppice I brought back into rotation were then sold to someone else when they came good ( I was gutted but my fault really: no written agreement and a change of estate manager). Place near me bought in 'Eastern Bloc' hurdles and they were really good quality and cheaper than mine, but not by much. Also thatcher friend of mine stopped makin his own brorches (family growin) and bought em in from somewhere in West Country: 2000 imported 2000 uk as a trial The imported ones were evenly cleft, pre bent, ready for the roof whereas the dearer uk ones had lots of thin spots, needed a good 2 day soak and still split when he bent them which do you think he stuck with? Havin said all this I totally agree about the pathogen threat. John
