Why I love my job

[Tazmaniandevil]

The gardens & grounds superintendent just phoned me to say a large chestnut tree has just been felled because of recent wind damage. The tree squad will be awaiting my instructions after 1PM today regarding size & quantity of logs I would like to take.

Looks like there will be a waxing going on round my place this weekend. I might try the standing it up in a plastic bag method too. See how that goes.

Alright! No need to rub it in! :lol: Nice score.

I wonder if he is taking the wee wee or just wants to share his good fortune ,? :lol: :lol:

Whichever get it home and treated ASAP.

In the car now, wrapped in a sheet of plastic. 4 logs about 12" diameter x 4' long, and a selection of smaller branch bits. I may well go back for more, depending on storage space available. There's some holly getting cut soon, and a sycamore that fell in 2011 to be removed. I need a bigger shed.

I don't often get the chance to brag.

What sort of Chestnut, sweet or horse?

 

[Tazmaniandevil]

This one is horse chestnut.

Does Horse Chestnut turn nicely ?





All together now........

 

[Tazmaniandevil]

I hope so :lol:
Apparently it is quite a bland wood, so may use it to practise staining and colouring.

Horse Chestnut turns very well indeed but as you say it is very very bland good for colouring though or pyrography.
