Yeah, some big trees came over back then! Well I've decided that I love working with it. It might be brutal on your tools, it might blunt blades etc but, just wow. The look of it is amazing. Icthink I'm going to go Greenheart hunting. I've found a reclaimed Greenheart timber supplier in Essex...

So I think that turned out OK!

Yup, I've been through this process already!!! All milled now. I gave boards, beams and a few blanks. All in all, a very worthwhile purchase!!!

And yes, definitely greenheart. So thank you everyone for getting stuck in on this one

Well I've not yet received the bill... so we will see! They're very good with milling. They've always helped me break down gigantic timber. They're mainly joiners with very specialist equipment. The resaw bandsaw they used is a relic, but my goodness its terrifying!!! The band is 8 meters long...

£150 + VAT!!!! That's it!!! Bargain of the century I think!

It was definitely a bargain my friend! £150 + VAT!!!! That's it!!! Bargain of the century I think!

Hi guys, a cheeky little update for you on that Greenheart! Question to answer first: Well I have a customer who lives on Shoreham beach 'the south coast boys and girls will know of this beach quite well', and they're looking at getting large block side tables made. The reason for Oak...

I know little about greenheart, well, actually nothing at all. What would this be worth if I were buying it? I mean I know...

The hoarding I think I've got under control.. But just this Monday I bought a totally pointless mini Japanese flush cut saw because I genuinely thought I NEEDED it. I'm not doing too well with the tool buying...

Damn... I better come up with a medical reason to be here then!! Does 'totally obsessed with wood, all encompassing' count? Or is that too generic here!? 😉

Hi guys and girls, I'm not new to woodworking, almost the complete opposite. This is exactly why I can't understand what exactly I've bought! I've been searching for a specific sized Oak beam/post/oversized blank, airdried naturally preferred and then I'd stick it in the kiln to correct any...

Thank you Fred!

Thank you for the welcome. You don't have to be mad to be a member, but it helps??

It is a beautiful part of the country, I'm very lucky to have grown up here. I'm glad to be back rooted and working within minutes of my home. I'm glad you enjoyed the fishing around here! It's a bit dire at the moment, but I think thats the same throughout the country. Thanks for the good luck!
