I have a large lump of boxwood recently felled. Is there any market for it?

Its a good 4 inch if not more.

I underestimated the size. Its 7" across, and 800 mm long, before it splits into two.

How do I post a photo?

heavily seal the ends quick and keep it out of the sunlight where the humidity is quite high, this will slow the drying process as much as possible.

 

what do you want for it?

[dig-dug-dan]

images attached

What should i seal the ends with?

 

again, open to offers!

Seal with either latex or any gloss paint:thumbup1:

Etchers love box. They usually have to use epoxy blocks as box of any size is rare. It used to be used for pictures in very old printing presses as it has such tight grain and is very hard and stable. I'm told each etching would be good for 1000+ prints before the quality started to diminish.

8-9 years ago we had a small trailer load of it and a mate of a mate drove down from Newcastle to get it.
