Laburnum bole for turning/milling, what's it worth ?

[Gareth Smith]

Finally got some pics ! Would rather see it go for turning than firewood !

If I was nearer I would be interested, sounds about £50 pounds worth , more if all the branches 3 inch plus were also included , Laburnum is useful in small sizes as well as the bigger bits , in fact the bigger they get in my experience the more the centre is likely to be decayed , but still useful wood . It is worth any one putting this sort of wood to a shaded corner of their yard for sale at a later date , shame to log it as others have said !! Just seen your pics and would have liked the Monkey Puzzle as well !!

Same as the others have said, if I was nearer I would be happy to buy that, nearer £30 from me but that's just because I'm tight 😁

Nice log!

 

Sadley Indeed 2 far from Devon though.... {Only just noticed location.}

 

4x 6 ft x 7 to 8 inch x 1.5 inch, shadow matching planks, reversed, would make a lovely Table top though, & last forever.

 

Shame to log it, burns hot when dry, but stinks.

I was led to believe that you shouldnt burn it because it releases bad toxins when burnt.

See if there are any Guitar makers / Luthiers in your area. It makes excellent fretboards and is a good substitute for rosewood in that area. Needs quarter sawing though.
