I'd be round like a shot if I lived nearby.Mick F wrote: ↑2 Dec 2021, 4:44pm You could well be correct regarding what and where he keeps the logs.
Is it illegal to sell them though?
Somehow, I very much doubt it.
You can buy anything you want. No laws about that.
It's what you do with it afterwards that's the issue here.
Just say you buy a freshly felled tree, and ask the person to log it up for you and barrow it to your home.
You get the (wet sappy) logs home and dry them yourself.
Come here, and pay me a few quid, and you can cut one of our trees down, log it up, and take it home.
In fact, I would welcome it!

There's a reason why they make fencing and fence posts from chestnut.francovendee wrote: ↑2 Dec 2021, 7:46pm I have a very old Chestnut tree close to my boundary. It's diseased and would probably provide half a years logs.
Cue the mnemonic poetry about suitability of types of wood for burning?Mick F wrote: ↑3 Dec 2021, 9:04amThere's a reason why they make fencing and fence posts from chestnut.francovendee wrote: ↑2 Dec 2021, 7:46pm I have a very old Chestnut tree close to my boundary.

It is very rot-proof, and my feeble brain would suggest that if it doesn't rot, it won't burn.
Thanks, that ensures I'll not be chopping it down. Mind you if it did fall down I might try burning some.Mick F wrote: ↑3 Dec 2021, 9:04amThere's a reason why they make fencing and fence posts from chestnut.francovendee wrote: ↑2 Dec 2021, 7:46pm I have a very old Chestnut tree close to my boundary.

This is a fact as far as we're concerned as we were given loads of chestnut and I logged it up and dried it out. Rubbish firewood, and we described it as trying to burn asbestos .......................... so don't bother with it ................ in our humble opinions.

A masterly account...of supreme interest...a classic of recorded field work and meticulous scholarship ― Country Life
As an aid to understanding the landscape I haven't found its equal ― New Scientist
Have you ever thought about how trees are represented in landscape paintings? Even country-loving Gainsborough could hardly paint them in such a way that individual species can be identified by Dr Rackham ― Daily Telegraph
This is the book that felled the romantic cliche of sylvan England ... There are heroes in this book as much as in any history but they are ancient oaks and beeches and hornbeams. Besides, how could anyone not want to read a book with a section on "What nettles say"? -- Simon Schama
