    Default Lotsa Camphor

    Hi,

    Been meaning to post this for a bit but have been finding it difficult to get time for the forums these days

    Bowl-basher told me about a lovely lump of camphor that needed to be carted away. Turned out to be a rather large amount of large lumps, and a good chunk was still vertical but it was a lot of fun slicing it all up

    Here are a couple of pics from my phone. Rubbish quality, I'm afraid. Bought one of those new fangled HTC Desire phones and everything is brilliant except a rubbish camera. Go figure

    I only had an hour or so to chop wood, so I ended up with about a trailer load. Some of the grain was beautiful!

    Pics 2 and 5 show BB having a blast chopping the stuff up. He's like a dentist so I can't show you his face here

    Cheers,
    Dave

    ooops. forgot to add... in the first photo you can see two trees... there were 5 in total, all that size. Huge amount of wood on offer! First one was left standing as there were power lines near it, and we weren't going to do anything that dumb

    Cheers,
    Dave

    If it's still on the ground at the house, then it's in the Eastwood area.

    Cheers,

    We could always chuck a couple of logs in the pond and see

    Might take a bit of time though. Sea Mail isn't that reliable either
