A note from Allan Cusworth:
I realize this wood is a long way away for some members but wanted to make sure all the turners I know hear about it.
I received a call today from Doug in North Vancouver who has cut down a Chestnut tree yesterday. He would like to get rid of the wood as soon as possible at no charge.
The tree trunk has been cut to 6 foot lengths that are 24” in diameter. There is no rot in it. He has been advised by a woodturner relative in Calgary that the wood should not go to waste so he found my name on the internet and called me. The wood is in his back yard.
I know there are some members who love to work with Chestnut and it seems this is a great chance to get some good wood before the sap starts to run in it.
Doug can be contacted for an exact address by calling Doug at 604-904-7971. (My phone number research shows the address as 1244 Ridgeway Ave., but that should be confirmed by a phone call to Doug to arrange pick up.)
Best Regards;
Allan Cusworth
Thanks Allan!
