Stunning timber. Really glad it worked out with Copford. 

 

If you are looking for a customer to take the stack off you green, I can forward contact details.

I'm tempted myself.
That's quite special.
Pm me if you want to sell one.

I may well get rid of a few as I need some new tools and I won’t get rid of them without letting you know

Beautiful. Would love to see what they become in years to come. Timber like that is a rarity.
Great to see the young lad involved too, you could hold back a board for him in the hope he takes up an interest in woodcraft in the future! Would make for good memories!

I can't believe how much elm just went for firewood twenty years ago. No one wanted it.

 

When I worked for the LA I felled a stem that was burred to around 4m. I arranged with my manager to plank it at cost for a local wood turning club, but there was insufficient interest to do it.
