Id love to get my hands on some big chunks of American or English oak.
It is a crime mate. You would be shocked at what is wasted in local governments.
Bribing them is easy. Getting the timber is the hard part. Our yards are full of cameras because of thieving.
The biggest issue is the oaks are relatively low maintenance, I have never seen a branch bigger then 2in pruned off them. Never has one been totally removed.
I have got heaps to keep me going and I'm also doing some trading with another forum member who happens to be in the same work gang as me.
