This really has taken me years to work out and is certainly very frustrating when I get it wrong! It would be uneconomical for me to buy large quantities of kiln dried timber, so preparing it from green myself is without doubt the best way forward.

In my last blog post, I got rather excited about some yew trees I had just acquired! The largest one is now well on the way to being rough turned, which leaves about three or four good sized sections to be cut up.
