Thanks everyone for highlighting who can help. I’ll message him back now and get the introduction made

I’m looking for someone to mill a small wind blown Walnut stick in Dorset. On flat ground, in dry grass field, easy access through wide field gate from nearby road. 3.2m length from end to above fracture point 2m circumference, approx 18” diameter Customer wants it slabbed up in situ and would like to keep the timber. Message me please if you’re interested and able to help? I’ll make the introduction. Thanks

Tree is near Weymouth. So if anyone wants a piece, let me know

Thanks for replies. I’ll post some photos of tree and milled timber. And a few pieces for local turners. Here’s a couple of links: 1177 Griselinia Vessel by Richard Chapman | Thompson's Galleries WWW.THOMPSONSGALLERY.CO.UK 1177 Griselinia Vessel, wood, by Richard Chapman at...

Anyone milled Griselinia? What’s it like? I’m taking down surprisingly large tree in next week or so. Should get an 18” x 5’ log from stem. Found some interesting pictures of nice turned pieces on Google which made me think before cutting it up for firewood

And does the expensive Protos system work in a mixed group with Sena users? Thanks

I’m removing large healthy Beech in Crossways, Dorset in November. 40” dbh. Codominant 28” diameter stems from 2.5m. Space to dismantle leaving long saw logs. Can cut to your preferred lengths. Good access for collection with HGV. Tree is adjacent to very wide and long driveway. Looking for buyer to come and collect. Please PM me if you’re interested. Thanks

I too have had a number of bad experiences with NA customer experience. I use Treekit, FR Jones or HB now and will continue to do so. They’re all excellent

Thanks for that. Very interesting. How would you compare cutting performance with the 2511?

Here’s my real world weight comparison of my battery and petrol top handle saws. Husky T535i, 10” bar, BLI200 battery, full tank of chain oil. 4.3kg versus Stihl 201TCM, 14”, fuel and oil. 4.9kg versus Echo 2511TES, 10”, fuel and oil. 3.1kg I’ve handled the t540i in the showroom and weight and size feel just like my t535i. No experience of new battery Echo.

Thank you. I’m convinced that you’re right. My silly spelling mistake. And the fact that Phellodendron wasn’t in my Collins British Tree book. Not comprehensive enough reference book in this case. I found these images of bark and cut wood on Google which are a very good match.

Higher resolution photos

You’re right. I can’t seem them either. On this photo you can see remnants of flower heads, but they’re not in a string. The leaves are like very large Ash as you describe though.

Good spot. Thanks

That’s a good shout. Just been reading about them. The habit and speed of growth is right. This is about 40 years old. Must be 50’+ in both height and spread. 2’+ dbh of each stem. Large enough to support a primitive multi level tree house. It reminded me of Walnut. Do any Wingnut species have a yellow cut face of younger layers of wood? On larger cuts, the yellow was just the outside layers. But quite vivid yellow sawdust was produced
