Sounds good. Is it freshly cut. Should be Ok as long as it aint split. Can ya pm me some prices what ya looking for please

Not to tread on Stihlben's toes but I've got some sumach sticks from Alec (agg221), robinia, catalpa lumps (up to 20" dia), cherry logs @ 7'x9" and two lumps of holly @ 32"x12-14".

 

I suppose it depends on what you call dry; it's been cut a while except for the holly but green stuff can be rough turned, then dried can't it?

 

I'm in Caterham (J6).

midge29 - I've e-mailed a professional turner not far from you recommending that he looks at this thread to see what you have on offer.

Our yard is in Shoreham, Kent if you want to come and have a look, I'll see what I can sort you out.

Our yard manager does like to process the logs fairly quickly but I often put stuff aside for my Dad as he is also a woodturner.

pm me your number if you're interested and I'll see what we can do.
