Ban on felling sycamore?

[nepia]

A friend has been told by a supplier of woodturning blanks and boards that he's struggling to obtain sycamore due to a ban on the felling of it in the North.

Have I missed something?

I've tried the great god Google and only get hits on the Gap Syc on Hadrian's Wall.

 

Cheers,

Sounds like a bad sycamore gap joke to me.

[nepia]

Agreed.

It did occur to me that someone's said it with a straight face and the comment's been taken at - well, face value!

All oak trees are protected.

[Peasgood]

All lime trees too, but everyone already knows that.

Not allowed to fell the “Mug Tree” in our house?

I've about an artic load of the stuff to come out before the end of the year. Wasn't looking forward to it coming back to the yard, it's full of wire, sorry I mean character.

Please keep this rumour going so I can send it over the pond and retire a wealthy man.

I felled a load of sycamore last week or the week before so no…
