it can be used for carvers who make rocking horses or merry go round animals.

 

HC lime and sycamore are all used for this purpose.

And there was me thinking you had wonderful staff up at the crack of dawn. Seriously I think its just a ploy to brag about your shed full of logs and put the rest of us to shame who are still splitting for this winter.

Really I'd say you'll struggle to sell this - it's a shame but there it is...

 

The reason is that there is not much demand for horse chestnut - not that there's anything wrong with the timber - people don't really know it...

 

If it had some burrs or rippling would be different. But it's hard enough to sell the well known timbers.

 

But you never know someone may have a project in mind!
