Pear is it worth milling?

[MattyF]

Called out to a large wind blown pear today nice long straight trunk approx 3ft diameter 7ft to first limb and a nice straight secondary the rest looks fire wood will cut off stump tm to see if it is sound if it is, will it be worth milling ? And knocking money off the job for the decent timber.

Can spot a pyrus at 100 yards me mate ... Just don't listen to my fishing stories as its 20" diameter not 36 !

I recon a foot up and its sound not to badly shaken should be productive bit of wood
