Large Lawsons cypress near faversham, kent

[scotspine1]

Personally I can't stand that rustic looking "furniture"

 

Mick, keep in mind no one, especially the person who might buy it, cares what you think, in fact, your opinion is of so little significance in the whole scheme of things it's registers 0 on the 0 - 10 scale of interesting opinions, 10 being the most interesting.

There is something a lot more beautiful than a table that you could turn this tree into....

Things could be made from this tree ..... however there are many more intereting / difficult logs available that would be far more worth while investing time and money in to .. personally I have never seen or heard of any thing made from Lawsons cypress , it is rather bland and I have always considered it one of the least desirable timbers I have come across .. although it is very light weight when dry so may suit some applications ..... I believe arrows are made from it ...

Jeez...what a can of worms I've opened up. Just trying to find a good home for a tree that is pretty old and deserves better than being turned into logs. Why does everything have to always revolve around making a profit? I'm quite tempted to keep the stick now and turn it into something that might get past on to my kids and their kids and so on. Maybe it might cost me a couple hundred quid and some time but who cares. I'll post some pics in about a years time when it's done

Don't loose heart! Time has much greater value than money and there never seems to be enough time to do the things that please us!!

? Have you read the thread through? I've said a few times that I don't need any money from this, but if i get some then great. Why do you feel the need to pick holes or try to catch me out?

If anyone really wants it then pm me, it's getting boring having to justify everything to people who aren't even interested so I'm making an exit!

I think if your posts had read slightly differently this thread might not have been quite so controversial. If you had said "I don't need any money from this, but if i get some then great" from the outset then the responses might have been different. To be fair you also stated that you would charge to load it, surely you will need to load it onto your own truck if no one takes you up on your offer? Had it been a black walnut tree I think the response might also have been somewhat different.

Don't take it to heart, people are just reacting to what they read.

Indeed, if the thread had read "free to collector, as I feel firewooding it would be a shame" then it would have been very different, imo.
