It's not every day a local farmer turns up in his tractor and asks where to unload the bucket of wood he has for me. I was promised a lovely piece of Maple by said farmer but today he brought me 6 lengths of tree trunks...2 Maple, 2 Holly, 1 Elm and 1 Hazel. How fantastic! The Maple and Hazel are the thickest I've seen, they never normally grow that big around here. I need to be patient with Holly and Hazel as they need to sit for another year to fully season, but I can't wait to see what waits inside the Elm and Maple for me...
