Sign in to disble this ad
I don't know what type of wood anyone is interested in...I have recently cut down a 65 year old walnut tree and have some GIANT chunks of the trunk. I don't know if this is even something that someone would be interested in or could/would use...just thought I would put it up... |

lowsound | Noit exactly sure what you mean by "crotches"...I am talking about pieces of the trunk that are but here are some pictures of them...some measuring 26" in diameter.
As for down the street...that would be mighty long street...all the way to Central California....

They'll have VERY nice grain patterns.
Believe me, somebody would REALLY like to have that wood. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Pacific Northwest | | | Have you thought about cutting it into 4" thick pieces? That would allow you to ship them if somebody were so inclined. The reason I say 4" is... that would allow somebody to plane it down to the right size with out having to sweat it. Is there enough etc...
Just my .002 worth.
