AROUNDWOOD

By choice winter wood for easier seasoning

Where do I start?

INITIAL CHAIN SAWING – Spalted Beech

Spalted Sycamore

Looking for the unusual – with features

WET (Green) TIMBER – chain sawn into slabs

Beech & Blackthorn

Holly

Band sawing the wet timber into blanks before seasoning

Sealing the end grain with paraffin wax to control (slow) drying

Child labour!

SEASONING CAN TAKE SOME TIME
