Huge odd shaped timber, oak and elm


Recommended Posts

Just wondering what the best thing to do with big or odd shaped timber. Wood we are working at the minute has lots of huge elm and strange shaped oak about. Just wondering what the best thing to do with it is, either mill it ourselves or would we get more money for it at a proper mill or would turners be interest?

Seems a waist just to send it as firewood because it really beautiful wood.

If you are planning on taking out huge elm without disease, can I suggest contacting one of the elm research projects before you do.

 

East Anglia has a much more genetically diverse population of elms than the rest of the country, mainly because of the prevalence of hybridized trees with fertile seed. There are various efforts to propagate surviving trees to retain the gene pool - ultimately it may be possible to re-establish disease resistant elm so that it becomes a familiar feature in the countryside again and propagating the currently surviving big trees is critical to this.
