You shipped sweet chestnut to Brittany? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Smart. [emoji106]

Teak oil can react with the tannins (I'm told). Best oil is tung oil. Also sold by rye oils. [emoji106]

My brother owns an old tug boat built in Texas for the d-day landings. I'll try and find a photo. [emoji106] With our younger generations forgetting/not being educated about the hardships and horror of ww2. It's easy to see it as "past history" and has nothing to do with them. [emoji51]

Bill Oddie went downhill after the goodies. ☹️

Reckon you'd get at least 3 from this. About 90cm by 30cm by 30mm. [emoji106]

George, It's elm, it doesn't like to split easily, your pith is far off centre and your logs are tiny. They are too small to mill. It's firewood sadly, unless you want to manually push each log through a woodworkers band saw. I do not recommend this though. (Fingers...) If you want an Elm chopping board, come to my yard in Huddersfield and you can have a free offcut. [emoji106]

It's going to grow like crazy. Get a local professional to cut them every couple of years. [emoji106]

Bow saw and axe. Done a large bamboo like that. Nightmare. [emoji51]

Anyone produce a TCT ripping chain? [emoji12][emoji106]

We had an issue this week, The cut started fine but by the end one side of the slab was 5mm thicker. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51] Turns out the 2 grub screws had fallen. ??♂️??♂️??♂️ Into the sawdust... Somewhere?????♂️??♂️??♂️ [emoji106]

Two good Oak trunks available near Warrington

"highly valuable black walnut tree?" [emoji848] -
Good tree surgeons come in all shapes and sizes. I only care about their ability. Some are worth well north of £200 as their work will show. But the going rate in West Yorkshire is about £120 a day. It's just wrong. There are some firms paying better but it's high end stuff or CIS. Good luck [emoji106]

I've tried. The edit profile only allows to change name. Can't work out how to upload photos and videos. (I'm inept with computers) [emoji51]

Shame. Still, keep posting decent trunks like that, you only need to know one decent miller and they'll probably buy all the quality trunks. I know quite a few crews locally, I get a call about once a fortnight. Nearly always something different and high quality. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Will have to get me a bar nose holder like yours. On narrow wood with a 25" bar I get the odd bit of washboard. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Last years drought and damage to mature trees.
Rough Hewn replied to Baldbloke's topic in General chat
I was working with the local council last summer. The regular guys were horrified that the hundreds of trees they had planted were drying out. Sad really. [emoji51] -
If you were closer... However there is now a sawmill directory/website so local tree surgeons, forestry cutter etc can sell trunks to a local sawmill. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Husky saws 390XP, 395XP, 3120XP to be discontinued?
Rough Hewn replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsaws
Spoke to a stihl techie yesterday. About the 880s future. He said they were only selling off stock now. Nothing to replace it. I'm very worried. [emoji51] -
