A little patience needed

[Grahamshed]

While on the way to Rye for the Home of Wood open day we stopped off for coffee at Queen Elizabeth Park and fell over these by the entrance.
Approx 2 feet long and 12 inches wide for the biggest and 20 inches by 9 inches for the smaller one. They came from a tree blown over in the storms about 3 months ago.

They weigh a ton and I guess they are going to take a while to dry out.

So you stole them? :?

More like removing a H&S hazard coupled with responsible recycling I would have thought?

 

[Grahamshed]

OK guys, I obviously didn't explain it properly. They were propped against the wall just inside the entrance and were for sale at what I thought was a silly ( low ) price. You tend not to know its history ( blown down 3 months ago ) when you steal stuff.

What is it?

What is it?

Ahh, yes, should have said
It is Yew. an old tree that fell in the march storms. They have painted the ends so it doesn't show up much.

I will photograph them individually in a few days and see what is the best way to deal with them. I think I will probably dry quicker than they will left in the round.

Sorry. You could live next door to Queen Elizabeth Park. I don't know.
