No, it has quite good cohesion. Just mill it green, the day you fell it. [emoji106]

If you can get one with a winch to feed it. So quick. [emoji106]

It goes hard real quick when felled. After a year or two it's like iron. Either bogging the saw or just blunting the chain. It's quite chattery when cutting too. [emoji51]

I had some narrow ash boards, they went oatmeal coloured with light tan lines. Nice as shelves. But... Ash is horrible to mill with an Alaskan, if you really must get it on a band saw. [emoji106]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Don. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I thought rot/fungus/spalted was all the same thing? Just discolouration? Is there a difference?

It was going to be the main job but the stem was hollow. ☹️ Manage to salvage the crotch, but a bit mushy on one side.

Bit more today, Then onto the big crown piece. Had to trim the sides to 1metre wide. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I use the short and long stihl felling bars. They last. Don't use two people on the long one or it will bend sideways. [emoji106]

Buy once [emoji106]

I prefer clean beech to spalted personally. But spalted is what's popular. [emoji106]

Great for small woodlands but tear up lawns badly. [emoji106]

About 20-30% air. The longer the wood the more air you buy. [emoji12][emoji106]

Got sent this... [emoji12]

Cutting some nice beech yesterday and today. Site was rather inclined with no vehicle access. Slabs and trunks slipping around [emoji51] Cutting went fine until... But the quality of the planks, gentle spalting and fantastic grain. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Spurious indeed. Cs29? 5 day course??? [emoji848] -
Go 3/8 standard. You shouldn't be snapping chains. Can you take some photos of the snapped links? [emoji106]

Epic stuff John. How thick are the boards? [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Only used one very briefly, surprisingly light and quite torquey. Slower rpm cutting in the wood.

Congratulations Andy, Whereabouts are you based? Sometimes I get asked to mill for a day and it's just too far. Nice setup. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

BBuiler I agree, good landlords do exist, but extremely rare. I apologise if you think I'm insulting you. Eggs, the 7k was 6 months rent in advance. A small 2 bedroom house in Brighton/hove is £650k and upwards. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

Buy to let landlords are scum. We have more houses than people in the uk, yet massive homeless and housing problems. My family was made homeless in September 2017, when our letting agent decided to put our rent up by £300 a month. No other BTL landlord or agency would touch us, as we are both self employed??? Even though we had £7k to put down??? Buy to let? Don't be that c*** ☹️☹️☹️
