Monkey puzzle

[RobRainford]

I'm taking one out today. It died a couple of months ago so is already drying. It's about 20" at the base and is about 25-30ft to the first branches.

 

In St helens.

 

Any offers?

Google your local woodturners. I had loads wanting monkey puzzle to make bowls and stuff.

All sat here in rings. Range of sizes 6" up to 12" and 10" thick to 22" thick.

 

No sap running out. All pretty dry timber. Some nice early spalting in the base too by the looks of it

 

Can deliver if reasonable distance

Have you had any takers yet Rob?

You could try the wood turners group at Caulderstones Park, South Liverpool.

They've converted the old boathouse on the lake there, and have 3 or 4 big lathes and quite a few members by the look of it.

Next time I'll leave it in a log length and you can try and carry it. It's not lightweight stuff!

 

I suppose I'll have a go at burning. It smells a bit like carrots sat on the trailer.
