I have just dismantled 4 large mature Poplars, I have the trunks available for any one who can collect them. At the moment they are at the following dimensions' the largest is 73cm DBH and the smallest is 63cm DBH and they are all approx 40ft long. they are roadside and can be cut to your requirements. Please contact me for further details. Location CB8 (Suffolk).

Doesn't seem to be any interest from forum members as yet, if anyone can point me in the direction of someone would could use these for milling or similar I'd be greatful. Just seems a waste to cut them up for logs.

You might struggle with poplar. It is probably less popular than it deserves to be - no particular grain or colour unless you get some ripple in there but it is a nice general purpose wood, similar hardness to spruce but much lighter and either takes preservative well (good for shed cladding) or is good for indoor use including rough floors as it doesn't splinter. Someone had a board from me recently to use as a worktop in a van they are converting - it will hardly add anything to the weight!

 

If you can't find any other takers you could try Helmdon Sawmill - they use a fair bit.

Thanks Alec,

Got a few feelers out, I'm not looking for money just thought it was a pity to turn it into fire wood lol.

I like poplar - useful timber to have in the yard for general applications. I built a 45 square metre mezzanine in one of my barns a couple of months ago in poplar.

 

I am a long, long way away though and I must admit that I rarely pay for poplar.

My thinking exactly Big J, I'm quite happy to give them to anyone who can collect them and I'll cut them to any length needed.

I would pick them up for you for a small fee, give me a bell if you're interested.
