anyone want it

[log on tommy]

got an elm stem, 12 to 15" diameter and around 10' long. got a nice colour to the middle of it, seems a shame to firewood it if one of you talented millers can turn it into something pretty! Located near York

Don't hold me to this until I've had chance to measure it but by memory the darker bit is 5 inches across at the base.

Thanks - a bit too narrow for me.

If it's the one I think it is from memory the darker wood was about 8 inch although I could be way off the mark I've been told I'm terrible for over estimating size

You were indeed correct mike, I've just been to measure it. the fat end is 17" in diameter of which 8" is coloured, the thin end is 13" in diameter of which 5 1/2" is coloured.

On a 10 ft log its the short end that matters...
