    Unhappy Missed out

    All I have here that cuts is a hacksaw!

    This morning, on the vacant corner block across the road, there was some great looking tree prunings- BIG stuphph! Lovely looking grain nd spalting in the end grain and nothing to attack it with!!. An hour later and the local Council had picked it up.

    So that's where you live!

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Regards, Woodwould.

    so why didn't you just pick it up as is and cut it up when you had something. I assume someone could have given you a hand. Or when you say big stuff, do you mean HUGE ?
