Some nice timber up for grabs in B'ham today!

[Gilogrt]

Just dropped an Elm. Got a couple of nice slabs from the base. About 4 foot long, 5-6 inch thick. Cut through the pith. Includes the crotch and some pip. Pics below.

Also about to drop an oak, not too big.
Then a good size Ash. Yet to find out if it has spalting. Pic below.

Pm sent Richard.

Took all the oak and small ash logs in timber waggon.
All the elm except the slab in the pic is still on site and easily accessible. Including handable rings, trunk and the matching side of the slab pictured.
It's on the grass verge between the road and side road for houses.
O/s 280'ish Broad lane, b'ham, B14

Regards Gilo.

Many, many thanks Gilo,

Not only is it slabbed folks, it's delivered.

Foot in photo for scale:

But that still does not do it justice. It's 45" x 20" x 5".

and with The Thing in the Garage fully extended, it will just go on perfectly:

Hopefully I will get more than I need out of it to make my long - awaited Elm draining board. I am one happy chap. \/

No probs.
