G,day
today i spotted the stumps in a yard in town of some trees that a guy had not long ago cut down .
then found out they were silky oak ( big ones )and he took em to the dump and the shire burned them.
but i spoke to his wife ( i know him quite well but he was not there at the time ) and she said there is one more to go and its a big one too , so i told her not to let him burn this one i will give him a hand to fell it and i will take the main trunk and some of the bigger branches .
now my question what are you guys using for end grain sealer on your logs these days ( its a long time since i did any over 20 years ) i always just used old paint but do remember that there was a proper sealer for the job waxy sort of stuff from memory ( i think the guy that i bought some wood turning stuff from out at the gap ( brissy )had it .
i am in toowoomba every wednesday there must be some where there that carries wood turning supplies in toowoomba ( aint looked yet but i will )
