Monkey Puzzle for sale

[Tully]

Hi

 

Ive a 50 foot 80 cm wide monkey puzzle stem to sell. Its fresh and uncut so im seeing if there is anyone out there that wants to buy it or knows any turners who may want it.

Just milled some for a customer yesterday.

 

Mill looks like its been sprayed with pva glue, sap is so plentiful and sticky! Cleaned it all up with some industrial alcohol but took a while to do, wouldn't be desperate to do more anytime soon. Timber was good, though, some very nice knot patterns on some boards.

 

I would leave the stem for a good while to let the sap ooze out next time.

 

Good for turning - my friend has some for that and he likes it.

Yeah heard that about the sap. Apparently turners like the top 3rd of the stem. Ive been told to cut it into logs and treat the ends with watered pva to slow the drying process.
