Lime wood worth anything?

[tim361]

I've got a job taking down three large lime trees. There is going to be a large amount of rings to be taken away from the job. Question is is the wood worth anything apart from for log wood?

[log supplier]

iv the same question for a large plum tree? wood turner?

Some turners may want some. Or instrument makers, I think it was/is used for piano sound boards.

Finding a buyer would be the hard part, does dry quick when split, good firewood!

Someone advertises at the back of the Forestry Journal, 'Lime urgently wanted', I often wonder what for!

Best wood for carving there is

Is it worth more as log wood then or worth contacting someone to see if they would buy it for turning?

I've got 130 cubic foot of top quality lime air drying. Didn't cost much and took only a day to mill at 3 to 4 inch thickness. Carver's delight, I'm told!

Someone told me some Rocking horses parts are made from lime.
