get some snaps up when you can mate as i'll happily pay for a pallet if there is enough.

Sorry I cannot help . Although I have pile of Laburnum at the yard . Its been down about 4 months . Free to anyone who wants it . Located Nr M6 Sandbach Services Cheshire .

if it's the right size i'm happy to pay for a pallet.

 

what sort of diameter is it?

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.

 

I turned some about a year ago it was a lot darker than yours nearly like walnut in colour. Yours does seem very light is cord wood?

laburnum can be greatly varied in colour and usually darkens anyway. had a block that was dark but once cut up it was pale blonde in colour but one bowl blank is dark brown all the way through.

We're taking one down on the 1st August. In Birmingham .

Quite a good size.. Think the main stem is about 18" diameter.

[se7enthdevil]

how long is the stem?

 

if it's sound i'll be interested.

[TIMON]

Main stem about 8'

It will be difficult for us to keep if that length ... No mechanical handling

Thanks

The tree is still living and I didn't see any obvious decay. It's coming down due to landscaping work.

Thanks.

cutting it in to two 4' lengths will be fine. i should be able to make a couple of nice bowl out of something that size too.
