• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

can you identify this timber

I agree with Doug, a very manky bit of oak with a lot of sapwood and possibly some fungal issues looking at it. It might be worth £5, but realistically it’s firewood.

I did start tying something similar but didn’t want to wet on anyones strawberries so I deleted it, but I do agree :lol:
 
Timber yards who service timber framing companies cut a lot of oak offcuts into that sort of size for making roof laths. At least it looks straight.

I used quite a bit when I did the outdoor kitchen roof. Was very cheap for a load.
 
Oak.

It's not impossible that it's chestnut (they're very difficult to tell apart unless you have medullary rays), but almost certainly oak. Not a great piece at all.
 
pictures as requested .I have a lot of oak but nothing that weighs as heavy as this .

I think that confirms that it’s oak.
I thought that it was from the first photos but didn’t want to make a fool of myself (what’s new you are all thinking).
 
Sorry to say Chris, I concur with the others, but someone will be glad to get it, being fair I would ask somewhere between £5 and 10, some places from what I’ve read would charge quite a bit more. And I think it’s safe to call it European Oak. Ian
 
Thanks for all your help with this I will now dispose of this timber and not sell it .I was so fixated on the weight that it must have been something special ,turned out its not its fire wood thanks again you learn something new every day.
