Branch wood for show, Help

[Ian Leach]

Looking for some branch wood for Justins show 2"-3" diameter, ideally i would like rowan but sycamore will also be ok anything considered tho. Its for carving spoons and stuff, doesn't need to be seasoned

 

Payment in beer or cider at show

 

Doesn't need to be lots just a few meter lengths would do.

I will see what I can bring along im up friday morning.

 

I know just the place to harvest some syc for you, as for the rowan that may be a bit trickier!

 

and what of lime? as its for carving spoons? birch?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

fresh cut or seasoned? I am assuming fresh

[Ian Leach]

Lime and birch would be good to Tony cheers:thumbup1: Let me know when you've got some and your drink of choice

 

Fresh cut is fine.

I cant make any promises but if any comes my way in the next four days they will be in my boot for your use.

 

failing all else i can pop to a site and grab a few sycamore lengths, 2-3 inch diameter but what lengths?

1m lengths will do as being cut smaller and split anyway.

chaps sorry to derail and hi jack,I have access to absolutely naff loads of rowan,what can I make with it? I'm a complete newbie to this.I've been burnig the stuff as it was too small for firewood.If there's any use for it I would sure prefer to preserve it instead of waste it.

If wish to pm me instead of litter this thread that would be awfully kind.

The wood is dense and used for carving,turning, tool handles and walking sticks. I haven't tried anything like furniture out of it tho.

 

Oh and the berries for jam
