    The apples were red!
    Anyway and in the process of cutting it down, anyone interested in it for wood turning, I will measure girth etc tomorrow but just wondering before I make firewood out of it.
    I have it cut at the moment into lengths I can't lift!

    They are all about 4 feet long, the main trunk is still in place till the new year.
    Will measure girths tomorrow.
    In passing, what is min diameter, say for turning pens/bowls.
    I have noticed that the tree is not circular, see picture

    Hi Calahonda,

    These look ideal. Apple is a lovely material to work with. I'll send you a PM with my number and hopefully hear from you tomorrow :)

    Thanks,
    Eoghan

    **Lads and Lassies: this timber is in Nenagh Co Tipperary**
    Judging by the PM's the location is being missed :)
