All the lumps in the picture I posted are spoken for, my girlfriend is a wood carver and she'll be using it. Some of the lumps may be milled, the rest will be carved into spoons like the ones below.

 

It's the main stem I'm interested in knowing about, unfortunately no pics at the moment though but it is hollow

Could it be butternut {Juglans cinerea}? often used for wardrobe backs and draw linings 80 plus years ago.

 

Normally called butternut or white walnut in the USA, tan or pink in colour, usually a very soft light timber. But a true walnut.

 

Would be a rare tree in the UK I guess? only seen one in Devon.

Well I've been back today and collected the stem as it was dug out by the builders, so now looking to find out where to sell it, and how much it might be worth?

 

As said, main stem does have some hollow but there is good wood as well. Approx length of stem is 5' + roots.

 

Tree is nr gloucester. Any advice welcome!
