Got last week tuesday evening, a maple tree (esdoorn boom).
Remco, the boyfriend of my youngest daughter Karin, brought me this tree with his truck all the way from the Betuwe.
Cut already the tree into three pieces, and what left is a juge root ball, full with riverclay, I'm busy to remove this tough stuff with a hammer and chisel, have to do it this way, because the root ball is laying in the middle of plants and flowers of my LOML, so using a pressure water cleaner is not possible, else it will be not my best day :no:. Have to cut off after cleaning the root ball the outside roots, before I'm able to transport this heavy root ball to my woodstore. Its the meaning to use this root ball for my turnings.
Here pictures of this tree.
Cheers.
