Dexter,I hate to put it this way - but, like you alluded to, I think the embalming/coffin way of burying folks, is a "dying" business. (Pun intended.)Two aspects of cremation are what is spelling the demise of embalming & coffin burials:1. Cost comparisons - Cremation is much less expensive.2.  Environmental/"Green-ness" - MUCH less ground space (NONE if the survivors keep the urn on a shelf in their home.) needed - no "large burial plot needed.  I could bury a family of 10 or more in the area needed for ONE coffin!I know that when I have heard folks discuss their plans for older family members who are approaching the sunset of their lives, Cremation leads with ~65%. Another "beauty" (advantage) of cremation is that there is no needed sense of urgency to "Bury the corpse".  "Grandpa" can rest on the mantle in the living room for months or years! I'm pleased to see that at least ONE person caught the "humor" of my reply to Roger.Have a Great week.Mac-Original Message-

​Hi Richard
I also signed OSA and like wise in commerce I have signed similar documents but 
where I receive Commercial in Confidence information it stays with me.

Only a couple of hours ago I was told something in Commercial in Confidence, 
and in the last couple months other things have come along and so "Mum's the 
word".

I am only doing what Winston Churchill asked!

Re: Milling on the Legacy

2017-04-05 Thread CURTIS GEORGE
Hello Richard 
I too air dry much of my own wood. But I have tried a number of different 
approaches over the years. 
If I'm working with Green Wood, (again for fun.) I like to turn first, and then 
ether brown bag my work. (that is put the idiom in one or two brown paper bags 
and seal the bag's top. This keeps the moisture form escaping quickly thus the 
wood stays more stable...) I have also used PEG. and boiling the wood to keep 
it stable . And on oaks and other open grained wood, Oiling works well. 

Oiling , an old sailor, told me that when the sail ships were in use, and when 
they needed to replace the mast. they would cut down a tree from the woods, and 
mount it on the ship. the boatswain would drill a hole on the top of the new 
mast and pore oil in the hole, and keep poring oil in the hole everyday until 
the oil gets to the bottom of the mast. i was told the idea was to have the oil 
replace to water in the wood, keeping the wood form cracking as it dried. when 
I have used this technique ,I oil the top and the sides of the wood, I have had 
very good success on my older Mook Jongs, (10"X 6' logs) a martial art 
tool/dummy. I use tung oil/ lensead oil mixture. with very good results. 

I also know that the vikings use to sink there felled trees in the bogs, and 
keep them there until they were ready for use. Perhaps the bogs water would 
keep the wood from drying out, keeping the wood stable. 
I also know when wooden boats have been out of the water for a long time. 
(winter) the boats needed to be flooded (that is filled with water.) for a day 
or two before they were sea worthy again. Again Wood and water, but in this 
case the wood swells to make the boat water tight. (same but different.) ;-p 

Many methods, some work better then others. but that is all part of the process 
of learning. 

gota run. 
Have a good day. 
C.A.G.

I used to have a very small sawmill  and that is small by U.K.

The messing about now with different bits of wood, is a different sort of

Sticking :: dry sticks, all the same thickness place at intervals along the

If a small amount, I place weights on top to stop them curling

have a moving table so I milled two flats on the log along the length90 
degrees to one another . Using a half inch metal milling cutter Bit slow but a

It did a excellent job
