Planking Walnut / by Nick Barberton

I was given a Walnut tree. A valuable gift and greatly appreciated because of the quality of the wood. Syann and I started to clear away the tree and I arranged for it to be planked. Then Covid 19 hit us with the lock down. At last the lock down was lifted and Rob and Ollie cut the main trunks into 50 mm. planks. A few shakes and rotten sections, but magnificent crotches. Rob brought the wood back to my woodshed and over the next few days and some help, I got it stickered and stacked. The biggest planks are over 200kg. Thank you Zan and Syann.
