Is this the right thread for an argument?

It is going free to a good home though, so long as whoever wants it does the removal.

Craig,

your shed is as much a shed as a cheese shop I tell ta you gotta get the missus to allow you use of that back room - either that or swap her the laundry....

If you're seriously interested I can rustle up some names and numbers for you. You have to be prepared to take a ute (preferably 4wd) out to where the mill is and take the lot (usually a few cubes) for that price.

hmmm dont think the old man wants that much all at once, he's happy getting smaller amounts from tolga (I guess its dried timber from tolga too anyway) but it's good to know there's still a bit around.

Womble,
is he going to Tolga woodworks or to the Tarzali mill outlet in the industrial estate behind the Tolga scrub? The latter is a lot cheaper but mostly sells cabinetmaking and building stock, not much good if you're after turning blanks. To find it turn left off the highway (where the sign says "industrial estate" ) just past "The Humpy" (fruit and veg stall).

Mick

Not big enough for my money

If the tree has been dead for about 1 to 2 years, pull some of the bark from the tree and have a look at the wood. My bet is that the tree will have very large fisures and cracks running up the tree and into the heart. From the size of the tree in your photos (600mm diameter) and being silky oak, this may be the case. If so, your tree may be useless even for fire wood (burns too quick!).

Thanks Bruce.
It ain't my tree though.

I agree with you . Personally I reckon it's firewood.

Shame really, but there you go.

Cheers
Craig
