Black Poplar milling

My father has had a large black poplar come down. It’s in south Suffolk. At its widest it is 40” (hand measured, not tape measured). Would anyone be interested in it? I’ve taken the branches but the trunk is just lying on the ground, access is reasonable. There not much black poplar around so I have no idea if it is a wood worth milling.

Potentially it might be worth milling, but I would post a photo on ArbTalk and you will get more informed opinions.

I have milled poplar. It can have ripple and pips and be stunning, or it can be very plain with almost no grain or other variation but it still makes a decent alternative to where you might use generic softwood.

 

Whereabouts in South Suffolk (I can look over the border into South Suffolk from where I am sitting, but it's a rather long border!)

You certainly have!  Out of interest can you remember what happened to those lumps I brought back from Devon for you?

I can - I will post a photo of where some of it has ended up when I get a thread started - only my phone camera has broken which is holding me up a bit.
