That's a great start Matt. Where are you based???
-
Got some painted and some oiled from recent work
-
Still on the hunt, keen for forestry but all work considered. Will-07795483802

Mines still pretty basic looking but it's getting there. Any thoughts would be greatly accepted. http://www.thehungrysquirrel.co.uk

You say it's any good for felling smaller stuff with or not really enough grunt? I'm looking at one for light work/second saw and also to throw a dime tip on for carving
-
I use both a pole and power lathe. These were all done on a power lathe just using a few bowl gouges. The finish on a wet bowl from a well made cut gives a better finish than a sanded finish. Once these guys are dry and oiled they should look even better.

How do find the little 201? I imagine it's a nice light saw for snedding
-
Run a 550xp with a 13" for chestnut, power is instant and the smaller bar is great for snedding. The new stihl 201 looks light but is only 35cc

Past few days work.
-
Been bowling today got these and more done, now to let them dry.

Price and method to remove this large Oak
TheHungrySquirrel replied to Billy's topic in General chat
That's a great piece of wood Billy, I didn't know there were so many large trees over this way. If you ever have wood to get rid of I'm always on the hunt for large wood and I'm only on the island. Also available for work if you ever need a hand. -
Have the bbc weather app on an iphone and it's about 95% accurate.

If you get stuck for woodturning advice give me a shout.
-
If your not going to get into that within a few days I'd wet both end with a sponge hen after an hour or so slap a thick layer of pva on both ends right up to the bark so the wood doesn't dry and split and then become firewood.
-
You can do a twice turned bowl like you say turn it rough to shape around 1-2" thick and allow to dry then return once it's dry. Or what I do is turn to finish on the lathe both power lathe and pole lathe, get the wall thickness spot on throughout the bowl and as it dries over a few weeks it will warp to a great shape.
-
I would cut that growth off and turn the two halves with at least an inch removed near the pith. If your turning from green to finished get the walls the same thickness to keep it in one piece. The wood around that growth will be multi directional and could cause a lot of problems for turning and drying.
-
I think a good scan of the ground first for services would be an idea, but it looks a good bit of kit.
-
I can barely afford one but it gets me everywhere.

Pricing coppicing work
TheHungrySquirrel replied to rob39's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
This sounds about right, although depending on what you mean split and stack? If just cutting to length for fencing then a week of hard work should do it. If your talking of processing the posts then allow a little longer. Where's all this wood based? -
Up to the top for the weekend

07795483802 Forest or coppice work preferred but still looking.
