I calculated it as follows allowing some excess. 100mm thick 1000mm long 250mm wide Cut from 41mm waney edge sawn oak.

Yes. It probably would be more hassle than it's worth.

So I need to make 13 stair treads for a floating staircase that we intend on putting in our house next year. I have calculated that I need 16 cu ft of oak, but it got me thinking as to whether I could make them from 18mm birch which I can laminate with 3mm oak veneer (if such a thing exists)...

It's a first for me. When I used to ring up Sydenhams at Maiden Bradley, they would simply give me a ft3 price over the phone. Just called another mill, and they were happy to quote 10ft3 price for 38mm and 25mm sawn boards and didn't ask for the width.

So I just rang up iwood.co.uk to ask what price for 13ft3 of prime grade oak, and explained that I have a self-build house to build and that there will be much more than that. He starts then saying he needs a cutting list to quote a ft3 price. I basically got tired and though to myself, that...

If anyone has a Festool sword saw that they are wanting to sell, please can you message me. Thanks

When you consider that the Festool hose is a ridiculous £200 that is a much better bet.

I think a lot of whether you like it or not, depends upon whether you enjoy painting spindles :ROFLMAO:

I haven't purchased any timber for a good few years and the last time was from a timber yard in Maiden Bradley. They have subsequently been taken over and as a result I have absolutely no idea what people are currently paying for sawn oak boards. I know price is dependent upon quantity, but...

We are in the process of buying a property that needs complete renovation and I have got my eye on a floating staircase. Whilst I will have no problems making the hollow treads myself, I just don't have any idea regarding sourcing the steelwork and what you can expect to pay. Here is a picture...
