I had to take down one of my 35-40 year old Dogwoods. 6-8 1.5"+ branches that are 12-18" long. The trunk is about 2.5' long tapering from 4" to 2". Currently looks like a caveman club.
Hoping I can get a couple small bowls out of it.
Tool handles, pens, bottlestoppers, a small bowl or two, maybe a small hollow form or two. I already have two mallets, but I'm tempted to make one from this.
Hated to cut it down. Being a neander, I used loppers and a bow saw. Green dogwood cuts much faster than dead dogwood.
Sealed an in the basement.
After a full day of yard work in the heat, I am ready for steak and beer.
