Apple wood

[WeeDee]

Does anyone know if there is much of a market in apple wood?

I know that small bags of applewood chips are sold for BBQ-ing, but apart from that - 'I know nothing!'

 

Thanks, Dee.

If you have the time they make fantasic chopping boards.

Thanks for those, Ian and Dela. I hadn't even considered those ideas!

You're in the 'Wet West', presumably Somerset/Devon/Cornwall? Cold call some woodturning clubs via e-mail. I've recently sold some wood to them (Exeter & Plymouth) from Surrey that I couldn't find anyone to take here; they seem very keen down there.

Thanks for the advice, Nepia. I'll follow up your suggestion.

 

But as for the Wet West, I'm in Ireland. A bit more wet and a bit more west, unfortuntately!

Ha ha. I pay the price for making assumptions. Good luck.
