Thank you, I stand corrected. Any other mistakes blame the innocuous paper clip helper from Microsoft Word.

 

Back to thread:-

 

Interestingly I believe Sweet Chestnut was introduced to England by the Romans, which is, may be, one reason for its density in the South East since early history, being the first area of invasion. As far as I know its main purpose was to produce fuel for the forges of the army to make the arms required for invasion, being a quick growing coppice species that produced easily harvested poles.

As a bonus the nut harvest feed the troops.

Sweet Chestnut as fire wood, yea this one kept me warm.

Unfortunately it was stolen, and as they could not sell it or show it off as the police reported it countrywide, it probably ended up as fire wood. note the ring shake (happy accident Silk slip dress) which makes chestnut troublesome to work when grown too big, beautiful fast grain though.

 

A beautiful sculpture.
