Apple wood for turning
Some time ago I mentioned that I had some applewood from an old apple
tree. I have recently cut off another of the major branches, and so I e- mailed those who responded last time, but only one person replied, and he was too far away. So if anyone wants some goodly chunks of apple wood for turning, and can collect from North East Derbyshire, bring your chainsaw. Indeed if these gales go on, I might have an entire tree to dispose of! [crossposted] John -- John Rouse |

Indeed if these gales go on, I might have an entire tree to dispose of! Please! I could certainly do with a long piece of thick wood, and if it has a bend in it, so much the better. It's for a gunstock to take a big flintlock barrel, so if you do have a good length, please don't cut it into little bits! I should be going from Norfolk to Cheshire fairly soon, and I usually go: Norwich, Lynn, Newark, Mansfield, Chesterfield, Buxton, Macc, Knutsford. Going anywhere close? -- Rusty horrid/squeak snailything zetnet/co\uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Not just apple, various things, eg holly, oak, maple, etc. Trunk sizes varying from 1.5" to maybe 10". I mean for most of us who dont have sawmills. Regards, NT |

Allow the cut ends to dry sufficiently to take emulsion paint. Paint over the ends and allow to dry, then melt wax over them. Store in stacks with air gaps between pieces under cover - preferably under just a cover, not in a dry shed, and leave for (IIRC) about a year for each inch of the diameter. Holly is good for turning, as is maple. Maple makes fine chopping boards and boards and plugs for use with chessets in cheesemaking. (Though sycamore is the bees knees for cheesemakers.) Apple twigs, shavings, chippings, sawdust etc is lovely for smoking fish, meat and cheese. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
