Any bandsaw will do that size log. [emoji106]

Got a call today from a guy who'd seen the directory. One call and I'm already making profit. Nice one Steve. It's working... [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

So what you're actually saying is you're in the same boat as the rest of us? I know knee jerking can be amusing, But the events surrounding us now will have economic reverberations for years to come. All I'm suggesting is a bit of solidarity amongst us. GDP down 30%? in one quarter, Oil at negative prices. The shit is hitting the fan. How many arb firms trading in February? How many do you think will be trading next February? How do you social distance/actually conform to HSE at work? Apologies for swearing at you. You're a bright spark most of the time Kevin. There's a lot of us who maybe aren't as savvy in business as some on here, but we still have families to feed and bills to pay. (Oh yeah, fuck corbyn. Just another establishment millionaire in the end) [emoji106]

You're not getting a good deal mate. I give one slab away for a log. Don't underestimate the value of what you can do. And don't overestimate the price of logs!!! Where are you based? Might know someone near you to get logs from. [emoji106]

Very old pear tree (dying gracefully?)
Rough Hewn replied to AndyJ's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
There is another option.... When I look at that tree, I see the heArtwood has nearly all rotted away. Structurally unsound, will fall over. I've had very old pear trees in my orchard break at 12-18" and then root whilst the tree is on the floor. (Sapwood still connected to base) Still producing pears. I suggest maybe... A couple of small cuts around the rotten base area, then pull the whole tree over, trim it tidy, then let it carry on. [emoji106] -
This is probably your best option. [emoji106]

Hi Kiwi, Basically you are describing a very expensive piece of wood. No sawmill cuts pieces that small. You will have to buy a larger board (10') and cut it short. Dry 10%mc, graded, 700mm wide, It'll be 50mm thick then must be planed to 40mm ready for sanding. Oak,Elm,walnut etc. I'd be charging you £500-£1500. Delivery would be about £200-£250 on top. The reason why, Is because all you need to do, is sand it,oil it and pop 4 legs on... And Voila! Finished table. [emoji848]

Personally I'd cut it 2" above the lowest set of leaves on the trunk in picture 1. Before it falls over. [emoji106] -
If you had to pick one, London Plane Tree or Common Lime?
Rough Hewn replied to JackArbAssociation's topic in AA
I really don't understand this thread. How can you compare these trees? Lime is fine. LP is an absolute mare. Who hasn't chipped a London plane???? Like glass fibre insulation but airborne. ????? -
It doesn't work. I tried it. They still want taxes/NI contributions, Water bill for rain water, Etc
-
Shit. Poor bastard.
-
Larch is even better as it's lighter and easier to install. And you can use normal fixings instead of stainless ones. [emoji106]

Or the absolute best would be sweet chestnut. As there would be almost no sapwood [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Buy oak sleepers, Rip em in half. 2" of oak will last ten years. Everything else is toxic. Plastic, treated etc. Treated softwood sleepers are £15 European oak sleepers are £20-£25 [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Get a sawmill bud [emoji12][emoji106]

Whoops.[emoji849]

Looks like we will all have to adapt. This may go on for a long time. Stay safe[emoji106]

You'll buy garden trees from tree surgeons for firewood prices. Because the trunks are full of nails. You will pay more for proper forest grown, but shouldn't get any metal. How much do you enjoy sharpening chains? [emoji106]

Looks like a sorbus to me. They rot easily too.

Just saying....
