There is some well seasoned ash down the river from a tree surgery that's been left. When I mentioned buying wood, Gavin specifically warned against it. He said it often wasn't very good. He's been foraging for 3 years, sucessfully.
I'm going to buy wood, I've decided. I'll take my chances. I've found someone who has a cubic meter of seasoned ash and oak. It's all cut to size as well, which is a huge bonus in my mind. I can't even imagine how scary using a band saw would be for some one as clumsy as myself.
