Turners input wanted on fallen Walnut Tree

[Chems]

I know you turners sometimes don't see other bits on the forum, but I've made a topic here that I'd really like some turners input. Would my recently felled walnut tree branches be good for turners?

IMO , anyone within 50 mls. should be peddiling their bike towarbs Nottingham now and get some of thoes branches.
That is a very generours gesture from the flat side of the forum , and although I cant avail of it I'm sure there are others that will .
The piece with the tape against it would be a very interesting piece ,as fron what I can see there may be a hole or nesting place on it which would open it's turning interests very much .

Thanks for showing

Chems,

Generally a woodturner will find good use for walnut, for the same reason others like to work with it.

Eugene, I think you were looking at Paul Chapman's walnut rather than Chems!

In reference to the piece of timber with the tape against it
this is what I had in mind regarding what could be tried .

I am never too sure if these pictures are being posted properly
so here goes.

Jeez Jumps , are they even in the same Parish ,County ,or Shire , or what ever is the proper name for an area over there .
Bloody hell some poor person may be on his bike to the wrong place . STOP ,if you can read this Jumps has the right address .
Hope poor Jonz. hasent set off from France.

I'd be great to get these branches moved so if people do want them for turning can you send a PM, just donations to the tool fund would be appreciated and that UKW's get some good wood at a steal. They'd have to be cut and collected from Northamptonshire, just off the M1 near Watford gap.

If anyones interested send me a PM.

The main trunk and the larger bit I'm looking into having sawn up for board stock so just the big old branches.

Chems , sorry that I may have caused the mix up , got me lines crossed as usual
Still a generous offer , well done .
