Thread: Lightening Struck Trees?

Alan - that'll teach you !!

As far as I can see, the considered opinion of this forum on the subject seems to be "yes or maybe no, possibly......er, then again, ummm"

I too got the "lightning struck wood won't burn" story from a guy doing work on our road at the time, but I intend to prove him wrong next winter !

Zoot - just curious as to why are you posting a connection of the lightning struck tree to this (CNC) forum?

This may be a bit obtuse, but I have been looking for timber boards to make signs on my next CNC Machine ... there's the connection!!

I normally only post to this CNC Forum and always get well considered comments from Rodm, Greolt and many others and just thought that they would be fascinated, as I have been, with the diverse range of views that my original question raised and they may have missed it in the 'General Woodwork' forum.

So no, I am not trying to divert this forum away from steppers, rails, gantries, spindles, movements, belts, pulleys, controllers, switches and the like and apologise if I have caused grief!

Cheers,
Alan

No worries . . . . hey no grief at all Alan.

Very interesting Zoot I don't travel much out of this end of the forum much so it was a good read thanks for that me think that any wood is worth a try.
