Strawberry tree any good for you millers?

[Al Cormack]

I picked it some timber today and it was Strawberry tree. Never seen one that big before. Around 3.5ft dia at the base.

 

I have one bottom trunk section, and several 12-20” dia lengths as well

 

Of interest to any one ?

WOW, that's worth milling just for the rarity of it.

 

only had a 12" trunk but that split to hell.

 

cover the endgrain with emulsion or pva IMMEDIATELY....

Dense heavy old stuff . Burns for ages in a wood burner ! ?

Defo! I'm not a Miller, but I've seen the results of strawberry. Unfortunately,  it was a couple of years after I had logged up the only one I've ever taken down.

Big lump is still available. Some of the smaller bits were bought

This is one of them milled:



Lovely colours

Still some largish bits left, but ground needs to dry out a bit before I can grab them
