Since I live in town with a lot of orchards, and saw a post a while back on the desire ability of Apple wood - I started looking for neighbors and such that might have a downed tree.
Then the other day on the way to get the xmas tree, I go past the local orchard and there is an entire field of old apple trees they have cut down to replant.
They are cutting it up and selling it for firewood. Told me to give them a call if I want any (seemed pleased that there might be a chance for it to go to something besides firewood). I would bet if we sent some type of letter of thanks and pictures or explanations of what it went for, we could get for free (or there abouts)
So: Is anyone interested? Right now it just a bunch of downed trees. Some cut into firewood. I might be inclined to resaw some and let it dry a bit, but I understand the turners here might want it green.
This is north of Boston, MA. But smaller pieces I recon if someone wants to help out we could just ship around to those interested.
EDIT: 12/8 Note Jim went up and picked up a couple pieces. Not free, but didnt seem too unreasonable either (basically they are selling it for firewood)
