The laburnum in our back garden is starting to fall so we're having it felled. The guys turned up unexpectedly today - great service but I'm now in a rush to find out...
...for turning and working (either myself or by others) what lengths are best to have it cut to?
Seperate answers for brances and trunk if that is better.
Either way we're keeping it - it'll be worked or seasoned and burned in a stove (I'm led to believe that it's fine in a burner but really bad for cooking with) but I'd like to get it into suitable lengths to start with so I don't write off it's usefulness to turners and the like.
Any input (except perhaps on the burning issue as I've read more about burning laburnum than anyon has any right to) appreciated.
Cheers folks.
