My walnut tree is becoming a bit of a bind, it's really much too big for
the garden, and as much as I love walnuts I feel the time has come to
dispose of it!

The question is, who is likely to want to buy it for use as walnut
timber?

Mike suggested woodturners. Here's a useful link; click on the branch
link to find a club near you.

However, it might be better to contact one of the professionals on the
committee to find a pro near you and get a proper feller in. A bunch of
amateurs in the garden can leave one helluva mess.

BTW Expect (or demand) at least a salad bowl as just reward!

Sorry I didn't make that clear, thank you for bringing it up. We had
professionals in because it was Council work and yes I wouldn't let a bunch
of 'cowboys' in either.

But try to get the tree fellers to work in conjunction with the Turners or
Antique dealer because of getting the best cuts.
