Lovely colours in that. Did you do the boards at 40mm for a special purpose? Just wondering. [emoji106]
-
Very tidy. Cracking colours on that Elm.
-
first thought was walnut
-
Thats a decent size swarm there.
-
What sort of price on those?
-
P. wallichiana has 3 needles and can be fairly fragile looking. But the length of those needles seems longer than usual.
-
But back to Gary's new chainsaw. Looks really good. Hope it does you well for many years to come!

Oh absolutely 92cc will be far better for milling. Just saying..... I think it is important to help people get into milling without having to spend their lives savings to get going, having the milling experience is a great thing. I started with an eco mill and a 365 with a 28 inch bar, then upgraded to a 36" lo pro, milled up a load of big sweet chestnut and other stuff, then got the 92cc saws which certainly made it all that more exciting and then got a 48" lo pro. One day I will be able to afford a panther mill, until then, got lots of sticks to mill up.

Don't want to make anyone wrong here, but I have run a 36" lo pro on a husky 365, did fairly well. Bit slower than a 92cc saw, but it did mill well.
-
Much smaller than the 365? Similar spec no?
-
Looks good. How much did that set you back? What’s the weight like? If you don’t mind me asking Gary.
-
wet and grey this morning. Then bright blue sky and sunshine!!!
-
Cheers Gary, yes everything seems a bit later than normal here. I reckon its the long cold spell we've had. Goslings haven't hatched yet and orchard trees are coming in to flower now which is pretty late.

Not necessary all spring related, but a few recent photos taken in spring.

I get that fairly often on the milling bars. Regular dressing. bearing in mind that when milling you are flat out for as long as needed to get through the whole log and that is a lot more wearing than cross cuts. Additionally even when the chain is on tight it still manages to stretch when it gets hot so its doing some moving during the milling process. And as above you are potentially dealing with more dirt and grit during milling. In my humble opinion that's what I would think does it. Although I could be completely wrong and potentially talking a lot of balderdash.

Nice, do you make cladding with the band saw? Can you? Have you made the whole bike shed from timber you milled? Might be silly questions. Haven't used a bandsaw mill, so wouldn't know. But at some stage later in life, I'm sure I will be investing in one (maybe in the next year or so...).
-
It’s a corker! Who took the photos?
-
Nice straight beech carried on with it.

Why we have a minium order of £30-00+vat on the website...

Thanks Rob. Makes sense. -
Crikey! any idea what your going to do with slabs that size? Enormous
-
What's your first thought when you see this Blue Atlas Cedar?
AJStrees replied to Sam's topic in General chat
From past experience with blue cedar. Depending on how much growth is on the end of that branch could cause failure, but that close to the main stem, may not be an issue. Hard to tell from that photo. Have seen many lateral branches fail with too much weight on them with cedars. Though use of cobra or cable has certainly seemed to lessen that problem. But others might have more experience on the subject. That’s my two pennies worth. -
Grows as a tree. Great as a hedge too. Will grow pretty big over time but does well with good reduction. Shoots back pretty quick.
-
No, only started tonight. With some fair gusts. Don't know what all the fuss is about..... Watched the Michael fisher weather report again tonight, just in case.
-
Did a few boards today.
-
Magnolia Grandiflora is pretty good as trees/large shrubs and gets going pretty quick once it's settled in. Griselinia is good too.
