Thread: Scots pine

Hope you ain't going around any corners What is the plan for the timber?

Burnsy.
Probably the wrong thread for this but anyway, it's a good Lucas story..
Got asked by the local heritage trust to remove this log from the front yard of an old house in town.
Not sure exactly what type of pine but as you can see, fairly large bark scales and the timber looks good.
Either way, it will keep me off the streets for a while.
Cheers.

We had a few corners but went slow, all good. at this stage don't really have any plans other than table, bench tops but it has generated some keen interest amongst local cabinet makers. Ended up with about 2.5 m/3 from first tree and still have 1 more to do about the same size.

Nice log metricky!! should get some good clean planks from it.

Rosewood - that wouldn't be a Canary Island Pine would it? They have bark like you describe and grow pretty big.

From the bark it looks like stone pine to me. they too grow quite big but seem to be very knotty.

Over the weekend we fillet stacked and painted the ends. Thought i would share the pics of the slabs and stack. We think that it is Baltic pine, Would like others thoughts.

I think it's bloody big pine - stack that is

Your storage shed is to small Nice stack.

Baltic pine is a psuedonym just like Tassy Oak

One of the primary timbers comprising baltic pine is Scots Pine.
