On the deck in yard. Love sycamore but always have problems with mould

 

Hornbeam is also great but if you get a 14 inch piece with buttresses on it struggles to split as the grain is so twisted

Chestnut is the cheapest hardwood I have seen and that's £45 tonne delivered. Nicest wood to process but so sloooooooow to dry. Never been offered ash only and doubt I would be prepared to pay the premium it commands. Mixed loads seem to be £55-£60 delivered down here.
