Large Sycamore free near Wigan

[Squaredy]

I have been contacted by a man today offering a large Sycamore stem, which judging by the pictures would produce some large characterful slabs.

 

He isn't after money, I guess he just wants it gone.  Whilst it is clearly not a nice clean milling stem I would think someone local with wide slabbing capabilites might appreciate this.

 

It has apparently been down for a year, and is 16 feet long and up to 5 feet wide.  Some of the smaller pieces in the photo are also available.

 

If anyone fancies it PM me and I will pass on his contact details.

That is a nice sized tree. Might be good habitat for ecological purposes.

Well yes, but I don't think the owner wants it to stay where it is as habitat!!

Hi Squaredy,
I'd be interested to mill it,
But I'm up to my neck for next couple of weeks.
Probably could do mid-end of May?

I will PM you the contact details if you wish.  As it has been down a year he may be willing to wait a few more weeks.  Apparently there are also some pine logs he will throw in but I have no idea what they are like.

Thanks Squaredy.
