Green Undiseased Elm for sale

[yewhunter18]

I am a very keen woodturner but the wood is no good as it is green and who ever buys it or you give it to will have to sit on it for 4-5 years befor it's any good to them

Well I Posted this on the Woodturners Institute and had a lot more possitive reaction.

If my original post was read correctly I'd rather it was used for something constructive rather than firewood.

I am more than capable of splitting it myself and use at a later date in my own burner.

 

As for giving it away for nowt, then you have more money than sense!

 

Keep us up to date with what you get for it.

 

I wouldn't give it away for nowt, if it got into my yard then it would go out again mixed into loads of firewood at the same rate as everything else.

 

However I would give it away if it saved me the trouble of moving it in the first place because that is saving me money in the short term even if it means I have less firewood to sell. Once moved it owes me, and if woodturners turn up and um and ar over it for half an hour while telling me crap stories about the bowl they made in 1974 then only take one peice wood away for £3.00 then suddenly it owes me even more!

No offence to any woodturners here, but......

Wood turners must be the same all over the country, as Rupe describes the one's I've met perfectly .

[Rupe]

They are all lovely people.....

 

If they were buying a car they would be called tyre kickers, not sure what the woodturners equivelant of that is.

[yewhunter18]

Wooow kinda getting a tiny bit offended here I haggle with my wood prices when buying but if you didn't ask silly prices I wouldn't and I don't spend £3 at a time on wood not worth putting my hand in my pocket
