Whats the big deal with this wood? I seen a bunch in a log pile and looked significantly bigger than this. He also thought he was sitting on a goldmine, I told him he can just burn it for all I cared.

Can be nice wood for turning once seasoned if it hasn’t split. I always keep it to one side to sell in a few years but certainly wouldn’t be paying for any that’s just been felled

I'll come collect it for a drink.

Got some in my log store . The heart wood is about 70% of the total diameter and dark chocolate brown , like walnut .

I know. But they all seem to be skinny little sticks like this. The log stores the best place for it. 🤣

The one I felled was about a 16" dia at the fat part . It devides up quite early and some of the branches 6" - 8" . I think its turners and spoon carvers that like it rather than millers .

I have a couple of bits of laburnum firewood on the mantlepiece. Occasionally chip a bit off for tool handle wedges. Just a nice thing to do.

What’s a drink these days? If I had to guess, “a drink” would be £20 (£10 for something extremely simple) and, “a good drink” would be £50.

Roughly £10 a log green. That's the most expensive one I found in a few minutes search, commonly £1 for a fountain pen blank which is even more than mantlepiece per cubic foot.
