Free wood. - more added

[alex s]

Ok so I need some space. This is a 20" wide by 92" long 3" thick wany edge board, weighs lots. Thing is I am not sure what it is... I have a feeling it is yew, it has been air dried since 1987.
As I cant be sure what it is I am reluctant to sell it as would hate to sell and find out I was wrong.

So it is going free to a good home.

3 conditions.....

1. Not to be sold on, I want this to go to someone who will use it themselves.
2. Collection only from Chingford, east London.
3. If it goes to a turner, would be nice to get a peice made from it back.

Ok, more added. as above. Gassman has first dibs on the large slab above, however if he doesnt want all of it the guys who responeded get the remainder.

Ok next lot.

This is either mahogany or more likley utile(i think) size is 38"x6"x2.5"

next bits are english walnut. sizes are 28"x8.5"x 1" and 28"x5"x1"

Next is beech.. one side is good, the other side has bark, see photos. 74"x 11" x 1.25"

Nearly 10 min and no takers everyone must be in the workshop.

I would love to have it but cant get down home for about 2 weeks, so if you would like to hold onto it till then....but I am sure someone will be along in a min to take it.

PS. Dont think its Yew looks more like cherry in the photo.

I would be interested (and as a turner would return a bowl). I see that Gasman got in there first - if you have spare Gasman I'd help you out

I'll take some if it's being shared!

I was sure you'd be in there first. I thought you were stepping back from the wood for a bit. I'll be your online conscience if you like. You've got enough wood already!

Too late for free wood again

Alex kindly gave me a scroll saw for free and I have put it to good use. He wanted shot of it because he had to keep moving it about. I have a home planned for it but not got round to it yet so I seem to be moving about a lot too

Think I saw that large plank when I was there - glad I don't have to lift it!

Very generous again Alex!

you'll never fit that in the elise- do you want our trusty steed again (in return for a square of the wood )

(also if you are picking stuff up from alex without my help , could you drop those besseys off at the same time ?)

let me know

BSM, if Miles can bring the clamps, I will happily chuck in some wood for you, got some 4" Air dried chesnut, also some 3" maple, and some 3" air dried elm...any use to you?

If the trusty steed is available I'd be more than happy to take advantage - you could be right about the Elise... There could be some milage in travelling from my new work place in Aylesbury...

my old dear lives near aylesbury so i could probably meet you over there - whether the trusty chariot is available will depend on when you want to do it -(alternately if the truck isnt available its suprising how much will fit in a focus estate so we could use the moosemobile instead) pm me
