Hi all, i am new to chainsaw carving and live in Durham, i have been scavenging wood from fallen trees in the local woods and have been making some large mushroom carvings and a bit of log garden furniture just to get the feel of the saws, can anyone tell me if there is anywhere in the Durham area where i could buy some large logs or stumps for carving, thank you.

 

Cheers for now Peter.

Your local arboriculture business will likely give you some for free if you can pick them up from the jobsite. One warning, though: I think all tree surgeons have been messed around by wood workers of various types. If you say you'll pick up a log you must do so.

 

Since you are asking about buying them, they'll deliver if you are willing to pony up.

 

Before you contact them I'd suggest you have a list of local tree species from which you want wood. If you don't know that yet, you might like to do a little research or ask another wood carver.
