When a good regular client I get small contracts from asks if I can put a few bricks back in a wall at the end of the tree jobs.... [emoji106]

Snow,sleet,hail,rain,wind. All at the same time. All day. ??♂️

I used to mill poplar as stickers. Brilliant in a barn. Looks nice on delivery. Useless outdoors.

Devon is pish wet. I grew up going camping on Dartmoor. Every camping trip since, not on the moors is so nice and easy. 50mph wind rain sleet fog and that was in summer. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I actually buy them from another timber yard, I chip in and we get a discount. Albion timber, just outside Sheffield. Run by David, really good bloke. [emoji106]

It is in a barn, tested with magnetic field meter. And he's OCD about stacking[emoji23] [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I've got a mate with a barn full of oak Elm yew etc slabs. All below 14% mc. Air dried. Lots of it is around 10%. Barsteward. I can't check the wood mc at my yard as the moss and fungus are too deep to get the probe in. [emoji849][emoji106]

Anything will do if it's all the same thickness. But these days I buy stickers in. 20mmx20mm. (Preferences vary) [emoji106]

C**ts.

Kiss goodbye to sleep, a social life, sex life, clothes which don't smell of baby sick, and the general recklessness of youth. What you've got now is far more amazing!!! Fatherhood is literally the best thing to ever happen in my life. [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

We've been discussing different fungi strains for spalting beech and syc. Thought about rubbing mud and fungus into the fresh end grains. Anyone tried this?

Look carefully at the third photo. There are 3 different types of fungi, One type in the centre 12" Another in a band around it, And a third nearer the outer edge. I'll get some close ups later [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Are you personally involved in this? Sounds fascinating. [emoji106]

It part of my retirement plan. [emoji106]

F**k that, return it. [emoji23]

Got any photos/videos? Sounds very interesting. Could you start a new thread about it? I'm sure there are quite a few on here who'd be interested to learn more. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

No it was a guy called Ed, with a big Saw. [emoji6] Got the rest of the tree in the yard, I'll ask Ed about meripilus. [emoji106]

I cut mine up into 8-10" rings got a lad who picks it up for £35 a cube. He's happy because he just splits it into icb's and stacks em. I'm happy cos I don't have space/time/effort. [emoji106]

I've done tree work and milling for a few over here. All just normal folk. [emoji106]

Nope. Syn gas is not given off during drying. Has to reach temperatures of several hundred centrigrade to gasify. How hot is your drier?

Milled a large beech for a mate today. Absolutely drenched. The 880 and the panther mill really do the job well. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
