Buy an ISO container or two and ask around local farms to put them

New to wood turning and was wondering what folk are using to seal the end grains? I've read everything from anchorseal and watered down pvc to just using regular emulsion, any help would be appreciated.

Anyone here growing Nordmann, frazer, Norway? Looking at buying some acres for a yard and want to start a side hussle doing cut your own trees. Ran the numbers on 2 acres and return is decent enough. Looking for any pointers, with regards to buying stock for planting? is it worth getting an agronomist in to check the land before purchase? I've got a fair amount of experience in the industry, just not in the startup side of things. Tia

Surely they've made a mistake

Have you tried HBS Ring in Inverness? Done my 1,2 and 6 there and it was pretty cheap

Wouldn't paint the tree as it'll effect the gas exchange through the bark. I believe you can get a wrap, which they tend to use in America

Hinowa are better machines imo -
Whitebeam?

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I'd go with the new ST6P. Forst have always worked well for us

Its easy to waste money on Google ads if you don't know what you're doing. And its expensive to get an external company to run campaigns for you......we use an external company and at the moment we're around £35 per lead due to most other tree surgeon companies also advertising. Can be a bit of a minefield but does repay if you're willing to shell out initially.

Where in Scotland are you based? I'd be interested, think your sentimental bowls are a really good idea

Yeah, second above, cordyline are basically unchippable. You hear a lot of the guys in the states tackle them top down when dismantling

Work out what your running costs are and % profit needed for the business, then price jobs accordingly. Dont fall into the trap of being a "busy fool". Get a good accountant, they may seem expensive, but a decent one will save you more money than they cost. Be upfront and don't be afraid to put your foot down with clients. Best of luck, 21 is a great age to start your own operation 👍
