  1. I produce chopping boards from timber beech oak and elm. Most trees i mill are over 36 dia Thats great as i like board 15 wide. The problem comes when milling smaller dia having to include the centre of the tree normally 2 boards and usually the best boards for character. But always full of faults. So willing learn if any of you have ways that will improve board quality.
  2. What is the best when resawing boards with regards to the heart wood. Do you include it in the boards or cut it out. Just interested in what other people do, to try and up my game abit.
  3. Whats it like on electric consumption
  4. Its wood panels with inset panels of celotex.and glass fibre base with steel bearers.soon to be clad in larch.
  5. Well so far its doing what it says on the tin Up to 50c in 9 hours
  6. I put longer bolts in my 365 as the thread is often deeper than the bolts used. Measure depth first.
  7. No the trunk was so rotten it would of been a waste of time,effort and cash.
  8. On this stump when it was 4ft higher
  9. A customer of mine had a quote for a bear in red wood same size last week. The quote was £4000.
  10. Not had this problem with a slack chain but have had simlar when saw as hit a hard bit of timber and ridden over it but that usually bends the bar and sawing becomes really tuff.
  11. Worn out bar, chain cutting at an angle. Grove in bar worn out had this on a bar last year
  12. Me and my partner are in process of purchasing a small wood and now this will move thing on in other ways. I am hoping to purchase a new norwood mill HG 36 and am interested in what people think of the mill. What add on's would you have. And would you go for a log profiler this would be the logsol profiler as the norwood Is not licensed in the uk. And a pic from the said wood.
  13. Finishing the milling today on the red wood unfortunately it was full of rot in the lower part of the trunk so fire wood.inclued a picture of the foliage for identifying.
  14. I have 1 slab left for a table for myself
  15. They have a picture from 1910 with both trees in so a rough guess is it was planted 1850 ish.
  16. The arb team that cut it down refer to it as WRC the owner refers to it as a Sequoia and some visting Americans CRW.?
  17. Will post some pic of the foiage sat when i go down to the tree. I am still learning and intrested what it is.
  18. Few pictures from today.the remaining tree, one hell of a beautiful piece of timber, transport method.
  19. What remains off the trunk unfortunately has a lot of rot in it. So had to be felled but one is stilling in the garden at about 80 to 90 ft high. This one so i am told was 110 ft.
  20. The main part off the trunk is still standing and about 70 dia at the base.its on the radbourne estate near to home for you john.
  21. Cut today and covered with wet cloth for the night thanks big j. Boards are 40 wide 9ft long nice timber to mill.
  22. I have both of these two saws 880 is a feeble to the 3120 but i fine the 880 better to use as the exhaust is in a better position no smoke up your nose. 3120 seems a far more able saw for milling.but the for the exhaust fumes.
  23. Just after a few tips about this timber first time i have milled one so does and don't Storage of it.etc 4ft dia trunk 20ft long
