Tina (someone I met at a carving show) called me about a large (30" she said) tulip poplar tree that was struck by lightning and she is wondering if anyone is interested in getting their paws on some wood. Her number is 919-306-1158. She's around the Raleigh - Anderson drive area
(She'd...

I'm having a couple pine trees cleared off of my property, and want to keep the wood and get it milled. One of them is about 70' tall and has got to have at least a 24" diameter trunk. the others are a little smaller. Either way, I'd like to keep the lumber instead of having it hauled...

Hey guys, my neighbor has a older Red Maple that has contracted some form of blight or possibly bugs of some type that have killed a section of the tree's canopy. It is however healthy looking by the bark and the leaves in the rest of the canopy to include the trunk. It really is like just one...
While at Shatley Springs this past Sat..... (Mmmm, Mmmm).... I noticed a hall tree that was cool. We always had a hall tree at mom's house, well until she gave it to my older brother....:slap:
I've always thought these were some of the coolest pc's of furniture, but you sure don't see them...

I have been offered a black walnut tree.
It is about 16-20 inches in diameter and is expected to be felled within the next few weeks.
I would like to try getting this tree processed for lumber but I don't know much about it. The owner says they can have the tree cut to lengths and stored off...
I am planning before the end of the year to plant some fruit trees.
My intent would be to use native trees to NC; I would prefer not using hybrid trees.
Does anybody have suggestion on nurseries that may be able to supply native tree?
Is eastern red cedar ok for turning when still wet? I had a co-worker bring me a freshly cut erc tree earlier this week. I would love to make some weed pots out of it. The size is about what I need to start with. It has the usual cedar limbs that have been trimmed. I love red cedar and...

Thanks
Hi Y'all, My Sister-in-law asked me to get creative and make a one of a kind hall tree for her son. He also has children so she wanted hooks at half height to teach the kids to hang their coats up also. Here is what I came up with. It is made of solid cherry and maple and stands about six feet...
Figured I'd keep the tree stump for this years tree being that it was my son's first Christmas. Maybe to make an ornament or something. This is all I could come up with ...

I have a neighbor that has a large Pin Oak close to his driveway and the roots have started to cause a good sized heave in the concrete driveway.:tinysmile_cry_t:
He is thinking of having the driveway resurfaced which means cutting a couple of the sprays of root (about 3-5" in diameter). If...
