Worth saving?

[Mick Stockbridge]

I've never been a one for saving wood other than firewood but after seeing what some people can do with it (tommer, Rob D, Ian Leach and the like) I'm inclined to save what I can from this dead Walnut and put it to a better use.

I'm gonna winch out the root ball and trunk tomorrow.

 

Is it worth saving or should I just log it up and burn it?

[Stephen Blair]

save it mate, remember the bench rob made for josh, it was cracking. If josh is near why dont you get him round with his new mill, get a bit of a play arb day mate

[Tree Man Tom]

Keep the trunk/butt and log the rest i recon.

[Mick Stockbridge]

Yeah that bench was the biz, no good me attempting something like that though. I'll hook it out tomorrow, take some pics and see if it's worth selling.

Shame about the rest though, If Ian lived nearer he'd be making spoons, bowls and all sorts out of it. I'm burning some this arvo and it's lovely, beats conny lol.

[Ian Leach]

Save it :biggrin: If your at any of the shows bring some up and i'll turn something for you then post it.

winch it out and either give Rob D a pm as he might collect, or save it for justins show mate, prob be able to flog it there, if not i'll mill it for you for beer at J's show

[Stephen Blair]

if not i'll mill it for you for beer at J's show

If you want a home for the rootball and it's in decent nick I know a guy Caterham who'll have it. He specialises in working them. Can't promise a pension fund for it though!

i know a couple of people including myself who would give you a drink for a bit to turn with.
