  1. This is the best picture I can get for the end grain, fresh cut, sanded and cleaned.
  2. I wouldn't know for sure but it came from plumbing trade supplier. Pallet got HT stamp on it. But I guess you never know.
  3. Sorry. Will do my best tomorrow
  4. Several boards significantly twisted, bowed and cracked so it must be difficult wood to work with.
  5. I may never know what is it but it looks nice anyway. There was no odour when planed. The most noticible thing was the weight compare to other wood. Here is picture for the endgrain I have wet on of the boards to try and get better picture.
  6. Need help with this wood ID please. It is a pallet wood seems tough and heavier than usual, Picture attached showed boards before and after putting through a planer. Non planed wood looks more reddish.
  7. Thanks again, I learn new things every day.
  8. Thanks for your help
  9. Hi can anybody identify this log please. It is hard wood, I think it could be ash but I am still learning.
  10. Picture is not clear but it is not a hedge, it is a line of a dense very tall coniferous trees which block the Son and they have been shortened.
  11. Why some people take such risk. No harness or helmet and wearing pair of Jeans. Luckily job was done and there was no accident this time.
  12. Managed to get this picture which I hope will help.
  13. Thanks, yes did some searches after my last post. Thanks for your help.
  14. Is white birch same like Silver Birch? We have several silver birch in our wood and they look different from the one in picture.
  15. Looking at my Tree Book it could be Poplar but I am not sure.
  16. So we have some walnut tree in our wood. That is very good news. thanks guys
  17. And I was wondering what happened to my fingers.
  18. I was unable to find the tree they belong to. At first I thought they are apples but when tried to cut them in halfs I found there is a large seed/ nut inside. it got certain small.
  19. Thanks Paul
  20. See this in our wood and not sure what is it. could it be Lime? It seems giant coppice
  21. This one here bang on budget. I am and very happy with mine. https://www.worldofpower.co.uk/makita-dcs500-49-9cc-18-45cm-petrol-chainsaw-with-steel-carry-case.html
  22. I went for 2.5 inch thick slabs the found out they are too much heavy for one person to carry or drag.
  23. Left the tree butt for now as it was too much to tackle on my own. tried one of the two logs which are 19-20 inch in diameter. the tree had two main stem and short but thick butt some something like Y shape. the tree is wind blown at a very steep slope. I thought if I cut the logs before milling it will go dawn the slope and will never be able to recover it. I have decided to mill it using a 10 foot ladder while log still attached to the rest of the tree, once each slab milled it has to be cut individually from the rest of the tree. I have used a DIY winch other wise it would have been impossible because I was pushing the saw against slope. I went for 2.5 inch thickness. each slap is about 9 feet long.
