Yes, it is outdoor furniture and I am told that sweet chestnut is resist weather well, I am open to suggestions :-)

Sweet chestnut is indeed resistant, about as good as oak. Robinia is good too. Might be able to help - do you need it green or seasoned?

Sounds good, I am looking for green or up to a year of seasoning.

Baggy, I've got a good stock of oak air drying at present, cut at 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2 and 2.25 inches. Nice pippy stuff that you would find rarer in your neck of the woods.

 

Looks like this:

 

 

That was one of the less pippy/burry boards logs.

 

Let me know if it's of interest.
