Wanted Tree trunks.

[nnnnnate]

I bought a wood lathe and am looking for green wood that I can turn into bowls and whatnot. I'm interested in hardwood (no conifers) trees and have a chainsaw so I can come cut rounds to the size I need and haul them off. Ideally, the trunk of the tree would need to be over 12-18" around to be worth turning. If you know someone that is planning to cut down a tree in the valley please give me a holler.

Thanks,
Nate

I have a friggin huge one in front of the shop I was going to mount my anvil to. I built something else so I was going for toss it this week.

I'll be cutting down a couple next Saturday (May 28) in Riverton. I'll check size and type. You're welcome to take what you want.

@Gravy Do you know how long ago was it cut down or what kind of tree it was? Send me a pic if you want and I could probably tell you if I'd be interested in it.

@Pile of parts that'd be great. Yeah just let me know what they are and we can chat. Thanks.

I picked up some wood from @Pile of parts this morning. I'm still looking for more so if any of you hear or see something give me a holler.

Nice to meet you. Glad it worked out for you. Thanks for the help. Post pictures of the bowls. What you sent me looked great.

Spring is here so I figure people will start working in their yards and gardens. Just a reminder that I'd love any tips on trees coming down that might could be salvaged for my woodworking. Looking for hardwoods so nothing with needles and bigger is better. Like 12" and bigger trunks. Please holler if you hear about anything that might fit.

Thanks.

Wanna come cut down my trees? I have 3 huge ass elms that need to come down. Probably a little far to travel though.

I don't know if I'd trust myself to cut down someone elses trees. I'm running pretty low on wood right now so I wouldn't necessarily write off that drive.

I'll be having an elm and silver maple cut down, as well as another silver maple trunk taken out soon. They should haul away the elm as I don't want it, but I plan on having them leave the maple. I'm not sure if I'll keep all of the wood for firewood, but there might be some trunk pieces available.

Do you know the circumference of the elm trunk? What about the maples while I'm asking.

I'd be more than happy to trade some wood that cracked on me for some of your maple. I've got maple, honey locust and some sycamore that I didn't store right. Not tons, but more than I wish I had ..

Where do you live?

 

[Tebbsjeep]

I live in Ogden. I would say they are all in the 2.5-3ft diameter and 7-8ft tall.

Well if you're wanting to burn those maples that's cool but they would also be awesome to turn. Like I said I've got a lot of fire wood here, some split and some not, that I'd trade if that's all you're looking for. A bunch of it has been split and drying for 2 years, some just a year, and some a few months.

This is what I've got, and this is what I'm trying to make. Except without that hole in the middle of the cherry bowl. (That one still hurts to look at.)

I'll know more after they're dropped and I see how much room I don't have to store the wood.
