Can you tell me a bit about sycamore?
I have 2 large sycamores in my front yard that shed limbs & twigs like crazy.
Almost as bad as a hackberry.
I may lose one near my driveway, in rebuilding the driveway,we had to cut some large roots that caused the problem to start with.
It sure is, both of my trees run from 27 to 30 inch Dia. & about 60 ft tall.That is purdy!
Here's a 4x14" section that I got out of a tapered end section of a chestnut recently. Sanded to 100 grit and a couple coats of Watco. Wish there was a lot more of this hiding in that tree - oh well. Am thinking of making a weather station out of it since the grain reminds me of a storm...
I haven't done any of my own milling yet, but my brother in law has a couple of 75' tall sycamores he going to cutting down that will probably be my first targets for my homemade mill.
