Possibly a bit OT, but it does relate to my garden.

It is with great regret that I have to get rid of a large oak tree in my
garden. The tree itself it quite healthy, but it is so close to a
neighbour's building that the roots are lifting and damaging the
building's
wall, to the extent they can no longer get insurance. My question is what
to
do with all the wood. The branches I'll get logged up and burn over the
next
few years. But the main trunk is about 3-4 feet across and 12-15 feet up
to
the first branches. Could someone (an artist or furniture maker) do
something with such a big chunk of solid oak? How would I locate someone
who
might relish such an opportunity? Should I sell it on eBay (buyer
collects
and pays for the crane which would be needed to lift it over my house)?

Any ideas before it gets chopped up into little bits?

What a shame. Where are you?
