  1. Id not bother even it if was dumped in my yard and Dave milled it for me.
  2. Some of the Bandsaw milling I do comes from Customers wanting their blown tree's repurposed.
  3. Thinking about it more and looking more into Earthballs I’m not so sure now. year round they are never bigger than in the pictures and generally Hazelnut/Cob sized. They certainly are not potato sized. The dogs eat as much of them as they can dig out. They never go near actual Earthballs when they do grow above ground.
  4. This seems to be what they are! The Dogs love them and have saught them out for the last 8 years and seem to be fine.
  5. It’s a hard crunchy shell. They seem to be like this year round and always this size. Never see them above ground and don’t see regular puff balls above ground either. Lots of ther mushrooms though including a good crop of Chanterelles. They’re always 1-3” deep and growing within a fine mat of roots.
  6. I’ve three Samoyeds and they all love to snuffle out these things. They’re about 1-3” below ground level and in the local woodland. They seem to zero in on them and once they’ve dug it out they’ll eat it then move onto the next one. They must dig up 10-15 each on a walk. There is no real smell to them and the insides are a very fine dark brown powder.
  7. Awesome! I hope the prices come crashing down so I can pick up a bargain.
  8. Valentines day was two days ago Les.

    The only issue with that attitude is as you exit your prime he'll be entering his and what goes around comes around.
  10. Ive got 1m wide Ash slabs that where milled at 5"-6" thick over 20 years ago and Ive re-sawn them to 2.5" and they've held up well.
  11. The car was idling all day just to dry out gloves I had on rotation. Was fine once you got going but stopping for lunch and getting going again was a killer.
  12. Just finished 4 days milling for a customer out in Banchory. Had two helpers the first two days then one helper the second two days. Plus the loaders. Milled an extensive cutting list out of DF & Larch. 95 x 3.6m x 8” x 2” 95 x 3.6m x 6”x2” 60 x 3.6m 4” x 2” 20 x 6” x 6” 65 x 5” x 3” He thought I’d get it all done in a day. 🤣 Was down to -4 a couple of the days with heavy snow coming through.
