seems a shame to waste it.

Let me Know what it’s worth to you, I’ll add on delivery and bring it to you. We are not that far from each other ??

i don't turn vases or hollow forms but there are plenty of people who do.

 

i don't have room anyway (sadly).

And there’s the issue for us. Us tree surgeons get nice wood now and again , but unless someone is going to collect it, pay for delivery etc, it’s always going to end up as firewood.

You forgot to say that everyone will moan that you've firewooded it.

If you were closer...
However there is now a sawmill directory/website so local tree surgeons, forestry cutter etc can sell trunks to a local sawmill.

Tried a couple. Not interested in Tulip.

Shame.
Still, keep posting decent trunks like that, you only need to know one decent miller and they'll probably buy all the quality trunks.
I know quite a few crews locally, I get a call about once a fortnight.
Nearly always something different and high quality.

How far are you prepared to travel. I've some local contacts in and around Oldham - both LA and arb contractors. If you want to PM some contact details and species you like/want - I'll happily pass them on.
