Horse Chestnut

[sawyerDave]

Is it any good for anything? I have a log about 8' long by about 18" diameter, top blew out of a landscape tree at a historic home-looks like termites were eating it from the bottom up. My grandfather used to say it and sycamore were about the 2 most useless trees in the forest!:chainsawguy: :chainsawguy:

One of the reasons old timers used to hate Sycamore was that before hydraulic splitters, you couldn't bust the stuff apart. They used to make butcher blocks out of sycamore for that very reason. Never heard anything good or bad about horsechesnut. Never milled any, nor used it in my woodshop.
