He knows it’s inaccessible. Otherwise it’d be sold [emoji6][emoji106]

Meh. I’m not biting. He winds me up more by sending me photos of huge burred trunks before and after they get rung up. [emoji22][emoji22][emoji22][emoji6]

The who can get most outraged at bad treework thread.

It really lets the light in now 🤣🤣🤣 -
I believe it’s actually the trees reaction to attack like olive ash. Natural phenols and turpins. [emoji106]

Yeah, Thank **** for epoxy resin🤣[emoji106]

What? A market for chocolate oak that looks like walnut? Yes. [emoji6][emoji106]

I hope it’s like this from a few weeks ago. [emoji106]

I’d want paying to remove that. Nearly everybody thinks oak trees are worth thousands. They aren’t. Unless as said before, it’s a grade stick, it’s firewood prices. £40-70 a ton I try not to buy off farmers these days as they know **** all except being greedy. [emoji106]

Firewood moisture meters, and "wet basis" vs "dry basis"
Rough Hewn replied to carbs for arbs's topic in Firewood forum
It’s firewood. You are measuring moisture content. Stick the prongs in a piece you’ve just split. That’s it. The variation is +\-2%? Measuring timber mc is very different as you can’t split the piece you want to measure. -
Firewood moisture meters, and "wet basis" vs "dry basis"
Rough Hewn replied to carbs for arbs's topic in Firewood forum
Had a regular turn up last week with his new field MC meter. Air dried 1” ash measured 35%. Bollocks... Then he recalibrated it. 12%.🤣🤣🤣[emoji106] That’s for milled timber. For firewood yiu can get one from stihl fir £10-£15. Cut your log in half, stick prongs in. Less than 20% it’s good. More than 20% it goes back in the shed. Fir firewood it’s really not rocket science. [emoji849] -
Fantastic grain colour!!! [emoji106]

When I was 19 I lived in a middle floor flat. Guy upstairs had a wood burner. A tiny ember dropped from the fire and went between the floor boards. I came home to find the entire ceiling of my room on the floor. Sodden with water. Destroyed everything I owned. Yes. Put a big slab of stone/ceramic/concrete underneath.

I’ll bet not one of you is insured for oxy acetylene. I bought a setup in 2013. No one would allow in their buildings! Invalidates their insurance. Couldn’t get insurance[emoji22] Had to give it all back.

Got up to 4” of snow fall last night. Sledging it is. [emoji106]

Been running aspen and stihl motomix for 3-4 years now on all my saws. Never had a problem. I buy motomix in 55 litre drums as we burn through it. Would never go back to pump fuel. [emoji106]

The structural integrity of a slab doesn’t matter anymore because of epoxy resin. It’s all about character. Any rotten lump can now be made glass hard. Big slabs and burrs are always desirable to table makers now. [emoji106]

Possibly. But I reckon that’s all oak. Only bit that’s odd is the top piece. Probably branch wood?
