Hi everyone, The tree guys were here yesterday to prune our trees. One of them is a lilac tree, not a bush but a tree, and they cut one of its trunks close to the ground. It had to go because it was growing into the house but after all the pruning of it and another tree, the lilac tree will be getting a lot more light from another direction. Anyway, I saved the trunk. It's 6 to 6 1/2 inches in diameter and 15 feet in length. It's thought to be 50 years old and the tree guy said it's disease free. Bobbin makers: do you think bobbins can be made out of it? Is anyone interested in having a piece? They're free. Someone here wants a piece, and I would love to have a few bobbins made from it. I expect the wood will take a long time to dry out but that doesn't bother me. After all, my internal clock is set to lacemakers time.
