    Default Bugger it

    Hi all
    Had a stump section of chestnut in the shed for a few months which I decided to mill the other day. On inspection in daylight I found it riddled with borers and completely useless so it ended up in the firewood heap. I guess in hindsight it should have been felled rather than left to blow over which took a couple of years or maybe more, how time flies. Bugger it!

    Oh well… as a once PM once said **** happens. Wood lovers come in all shapes and sizes
    But on the bright side I have found that fiddleback and birdseye make good firewood if the wood is dry.
    This happens to all of us...
