gloat better than the rest.

especialy bowl bashers:2tsup:

picked up some shee oak logs today a tree feller mate offerd me a few weeks back.

when he said a few shee oak logs i thaught he ment the little ones that i normaly get found 200mm dia and 1m long. and never thaught thered be this many.
average 500mm by 2.4m

im a verry happy chappie:D.

any idea on what type it is?
the seedthinkys look like little stary things and the needles hang down if this helps

[funkychicken]

Lucky!

close up of the end grain.

Why GLOAT over them theres nothing to gloat over, there to long you can't make bowls that size you have to go to the trouble of moving them all that wieght to shift then you have to get a chainsaw out of the box and cut them up into smaller pieces then find the room to put it wax and seal the ends for what, No not worth the bother.
Now i could save you a lot of messing around being a nice guy i could take it all of your hands, i have a good chainsaw.:D some people are just bums:pnice one i like getting wood this way:2tsup:just got a load of apple and cedar last weekend..LB

Nice score Carl, don't leave them for to long thought, she oak needs to be milled asap.

[dai sensei]

Beauty :2tsup: Not sure what Sheoak, there are so many, but that center grain looks great.

Don't forget post photos after they are milled.

[weisyboy]

ends are sealed and it will be milled as soon as my mill is operational again.

i also need a new saw so it may not be for a month or so.

most will go into woodturning blanks, bowls etc but the bigger long ones will make nice slabs.

[artme]

Careful Carl! that stuph warps and twists, checks and splits. I know, I've had some experience so send it to me!:D:D:p:p

[woodwork wally]

Hi Carl Yep thats sheoak and it comes up mighty pretty in bowls and other turnings:):) . Very prone to splitting if not dealt with quickly but manalive i"d take the risk of a bit of splitting with that much You will eat up the wax on that lot mate BLUDDYBUTY:2tsup::2tsup: regards WW.Wally

[woodwork wally]

Hi again I was that excited over the sheoak I forgot to tell you it is botanically a "cassurina " I think I got the spelling right. very common in the wild down here and on the western district and wimmera/ mallee plains and hills Cheers WW Wally
