I did say especially post 10!

I guess post 21 was to subtle ?

Heres an interesting link about milling, Especially post 10... http://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/optimising-an-090-for-milling.239232/

Cherry brandy is also famous for its cyanide content, but the amount that would kill most non alcoholics is roughly the same , as the likely fatal dose of Alcohol. What a dilemma!

How about 200? Ill still have 999 on speed dial? spiral

I think 20 to 40 in a blender would be lethal to a child.. But if you want to come down for a few pints of cider & a curry & 300 cherry pips in a blender with some rum fair enough... Ill keep the mobile on standby with 999 on speed dial... You'll have to agree in writing its your choice though. Actually you'll have to do the blending, cos it will still look bad in the red tops .... As for couldn't be sold... go & eat 20 cigarettes... youll be dead... But yes I didn't intend my comment to panic anyone... So sorry if a bit alarmist... But the point being cherry leaves & pips are defiantly poisonous...

Its what I was taught in biology at school.. {4 decades ago.}. so yes I have to agree that could be wrong... Eating lots is irrelevant evidence is well though... I m sure you didn't crush them to smithereens. I suspect the true figure is between about 10 times what I said & 10% of your equally ridiculous figure! As for evidence , here some about peach/ almond kernels that contain the same poison {Admitadly in greater amounts. } Delena Tull (Edible and Useful Plants of Texas and the Southwest, 1987) wrote … “Human cyanide poisoning most frequently occurs from ingestion of the seed kernels inside the stony pits [of peaches, plums, apricots, cherries, nectarines, etc.]. The classic poisoning story tells of a man who relished apple seeds also in the rose family. He saved up a large number, then ate them all at once. It was his final meal (Ricciuti 1978). In recent years health food enthusiasts have encouraged the eating of apricot seeds as a source of laetrile, allegedly to prevent cancer. Though a single apricot seed probably can be considered safe for an adult, a man who ate 28 died (Michael Ellis, letter to the author, August 1986). A small child reacts to a much lower dose of a toxin than does an adult. As few as two to five apricot or peach kernels can be fatal to a child (Ellis 1978). Cyanide has a very low lethal dose, and death can occur rapidly. [...] A few other vegetables and fruits should be treated with caution. As long as you eat lima beans in the United States, you need not worry, but if you travel outside the States, beware. Lima beans, Phaseolus liminensis and P. lunatus, contain the cyanogenetic glycoside phaseolunatin, which also converts to cyanide in the body. Cyanide levels of lima beans in the United States have been monitored since World War I.”

Yep cherries are poisonous, the leaves & pips especially. {A couple of crushed pips can kill a child.] Cherry Laurels even worse... Spiral

Great stuff! Once given the thought 5 minutes searching on google found it! Thanks! spiral

Great figure of darker heart resembling a semi squatting naked woman in the figuring!

Yes please! I am sure Jackalope would be great full to you... spiral

Last 6 or 7 years mainly knotty holm oak, Bay, hazel, yew , opepe, some driftwood conifer & long dead elm, this year nearly all laburnham.... But will run out by January probably I think... Kiln dry spruce & pine joinery/furniture offcuts for kindling most of the time..{everything else just isn't as good.} Need another standing dead elm or sun bleached driftwood conifer or 2 really. spiral

Cool, is that the heart or {just off.} board? that's the one I thought might be amazing?

Ahh sorry both double cross purpoises then, {or dolphins even..] If you read back through the posts I said I said not many would want 6ft by 12... I said they would want 6ft by 18ft ... so perhaps we agree? Either way... its all good..

firewood....

So you think that on the cuts shown so far it looks better as the wood than the tree? I love timber & trees myself... But first cut doesn't look boardroom quality to me...

se7enthdevil says burn the timber! Only kidding... what do you think of the wine table? I think the top inlay was a fossilised slice of the same timber. spiral

Heart cut might be interesting..? but yes if rotten no good... I can admire character in timber, but stability is often key, You can sometimes design round it, but stability is important for most things. As I said to the thread starter, starter, cut it in half , if its good that's great, if not its still firewood...

double post

Is it a pig shaped cock or a pig shaped women? Or both?

Examples of such 6ft wide 12 ft long pieces? Of similar timber? Ive worked sub contract for famous cabinet makers who sell the £30,000 tables, {that had there name on but they never touched.} {15 plus years ago..} Those timbers were rather special, & the proportions rather good.

mmm best if it is though, defect free, straight grained & quartersawn as well.{ unless some amazingly stable tropical timber..} Then you don't have problems shutting a fag paper accuracy fitted door next time it poor's down from the heavens for a month... Just IMHO of course. But I agree for waney edged furniture , cracks inclusion's etc are all good... {Again IMHO.} But my question was serious ... is anyone in uk buying 6 ft wide table? & if they are Id guess they would want them 18 ft long at least! {to keep proportions looking good.... If they are... that's cool... there kitchen or dining room must be a beut! But if I could house a 6 ft wide table... Id want some amazing plank to do it with! Sadly such a beauty wouldn't fit in my place...

Not arguing with any statements here, but just reflecting a shared interest... As best I recall & could see this was turned from a slow grown 12 inch diameter trunk. A small South American side/wine table, As its not English turning work though, & probably heading towards antique, rather than vintage, so Id guess many people may not of seen it, turned in quite this manner before? Knot spacing will be much longer on most UK timber as well, so maybe {k}not or more likely probably impossible achieve same results with UK timber. {unless grown in the Orkneys or some such...}
