Lime wood

My Mum is having some very large limes pollarded (?). Would any wood turner, carver like some chunks saved? They are good strong old trees and it seems a shame to put it all on the fire if someone can make use of them in any other way.

Smile Mad request. Lime wood compared to some other trees does not weigh as heavy. (You know what I mean. Rolling Eyes Smile ) Is there any way we can do a pass the parcel and get a log or two down to Cornwall from here?

could we get it as far as Jamandas for the pre wossname meet-up in November?
Cathryn

I'm going to the one at Mochyn's village hall. Is anyone going to both? Jamanda wants some fleece so the log will be well cushioned. Smile

Isnt HelenM going to both?
Cathryn

And Fee. Smile

I will ask them both.
Cathryn

Does Gareth want any Sally? I could leave it at Ginkotree's place.

I'm sure he'd love some if any is going spare Smile thanks
Cathryn

Six, three hundred year old trees that haven't been pollarded for 25 years. There is PLENTY! Smile

We're going to be in mid-Wales the coming weekend, and will be returning with an empty pick-up. We can't store a lot of wood, but we can get a heap to Devon.

We've got room to store it for a while.
Brownbear

Well then, Bodrighty can either meet me to collect, or I can drop it with you.
Cathryn

Brilliant! Can I order some sausages as well then please. Smile
Cathryn

Bodrighy, I would like to buy something off you made with this lime. It would make a fantastic present for my Mum. Long term present planning. Smile

I'm afraid we're between premises at the moment; but we hope to be back in full production soon.

In the meantime we're thinking of recruiting local agents on commission, if you'd be interested in free sausages on a regular basis.
Cathryn

Blow!

If I think of any outlets I will let you know. If you want to do any shows or fairs in this general wide stretch of Wales please let me know. I would be happy to help.
Bodrighy

Turners tradition is to provide any wood donor with something made from the wood so there wouldn't be a need to buy Cathryn.
If BB is transporting and Sean is storing for me then they would be in line as well Laughing
