You can use the money to buy far more wood for burning than you would get from the yew. Anyone want to buy a yew trunk ? I looked on Ebay and woodturning blanks just 2 inched thick of the diameter I have are selling for several pounds!!! But what makes for a "woodturning blank" ? Mike So maybe the leylandii's not for burning, but the yew is for turning? Didn't MH Thatcher have a shorter version? Te he. Mike |

Can we use walnut on a fire indoors? SWMBO seems to think it is ot a good idea. Alan -- Chris Gardening in West Cornwall overlooking the sea.

English walnut is OK for rifle stocks, but not, a gunsmith tells me, for shotgun stocks. -- Rusty |

Much better used for carving or woodturning. English walnut is OK for rifle stocks, but not, a gunsmith tells me, for shotgun stocks. It burns perfectly well. You need heartwood for woodwork, and I have used both a rotten walnut and (large) prunings for firewood. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Any wood can be burnt if it is seasoned properly. Seasoning of wood takes a lot of time. Some wood takes around one year to be seasoned while some take many years to be seasoned. Leylandii takes about a year to be seasoned after that it will burn alright.
