Apple wood for turning
 

Some time ago I mentioned that I had some applewood from an old apple
tree. I have recently cut off another of the major branches, and so I e-
mailed those who responded last time, but only one person replied, and
he was too far away. So if anyone wants some goodly chunks of apple wood
for turning, and can collect from North East Derbyshire, bring your
chainsaw.

Indeed if these gales go on, I might have an entire tree to dispose of!

Please! I could certainly do with a long piece of thick wood, and if it
has a bend in it, so much the better. It's for a gunstock to take a big
flintlock barrel, so if you do have a good length, please don't cut it
into little bits!

I should be going from Norfolk to Cheshire fairly soon, and I usually
go: Norwich, Lynn, Newark, Mansfield, Chesterfield, Buxton, Macc,
Knutsford.

Going anywhere close?

Can one do much with choped off garden trees? Not just apple, various
things, eg holly, oak, maple, etc. Trunk sizes varying from 1.5" to
maybe 10". I mean for most of us who dont have sawmills.

Allow the cut ends to dry sufficiently to take emulsion paint. Paint
over the ends and allow to dry, then melt wax over them. Store in stacks
with air gaps between pieces under cover - preferably under just a
cover, not in a dry shed, and leave for (IIRC) about a year for each
inch of the diameter.

Holly is good for turning, as is maple. Maple makes fine chopping boards
and boards and plugs for use with chessets in cheesemaking. (Though
sycamore is the bees knees for cheesemakers.)

Apple twigs, shavings, chippings, sawdust etc is lovely for smoking
fish, meat and cheese.

I believe we have some of that being felled. We also have to lop the Scots
Pine by 25% f that is any good
