looking for laburnum timber

[se7enthdevil]

hi all, i'm on the lookout for decent bits of laburnum to use for making very small skittles. the stems need to be 6-8" as i intend to quarter them and make 4 pins from each length. if anyone has any trees coming down in berkshire then i will happily take delivery of the large bits.

 

length is not a factor as each skittle ends up 6" tall but i need the width so it can be split as described.

is anyone able to bring this to maidenhead???

Looks like it was a lovely tree, shame it's gone! I'd love a Laburnam like that in my garden. I hope, at least, you get the tree now it's down and make good use of the timber.

i wont be turned in to lots of nice bowls unfortunately (well one or two bits will) but turned in to these skittles. although its not quite as good as boxwood it's a good substitute and that's what i'm after.

Got a few large pieces that have been sitting in the garage a year or 2, not branch wood but parts from an 18" dia stump.
