THERE IS NO REAL NEED TO TREAT CLEFT TIMBERS AS THESE CAN LAST UP TO 20/25 YEARS .
HOWEVER WHEN THESE TIMBERS ARE CUT / HARVESTED
- THE BEST TIME TO HARVEST IS WHEN THE SAPWOOD IS AT ITS LOWEST BETWEEN SEPTEMBER AND MARCH .
- THE LESS SAPWOOD IN THE TIMBER THE LONGER IT WILL LAST
- SOME SUMMERCUT IS CARRIED OUT BUT NOT BY JON WALKER TIMBER
- SUMMER CUT WILL NOT LAST AS LONG AS WINTER CUT
- SO BE WISE AND ASK FOR YOUR CHESTNUT TO BE WINTER CUT .
AT JON WALKER TIMBER WE HARVEST BETWEEN SEPTEMBER AND MARCH AND CLEAVE THE
CHESTNUT INTO PALES , POSTS , RAILS AND NEW TRADITIONAL PRODUCT DEER ESTATE
FENCING WITH CLEFT POSTS RAILS AND CLEFT FLAT PALES .
WE PEEL THE CHESTNUT PARTICULARLY PALES AND POSTS TO MAKE IT LOOK CLEANER AND MORE PRESENTABLE BUT BEING CAREFUL NOT TO SAW CUT THE GRAIN, BUT CLEAVE WITH THE GRAIN.
