Had a great morning in the shop today, marking out and cutting blanks out of a load of timber I collected on Thursday from my supplier in Dormansland.
The blanks are mostly around 300mm diameter. The large stack is Alder, Cedar of Lebanon alongside and Sycamore in the front (with a spalted Beech on the top). Time I've finished cutting blanks, they'll work out at around £3.00 per blank - seems like the way to do it! My supplier has just started cutting up a huge tulip tree - he was cutting it into boards, but I've persuaded him to slab some for me - going to be great with the colour and figure in it, by the looks of things.
Looking forward to turning some of these soon.
