The members of Nor-Cal Woodturners are always looking for wood.  If you know of someone who is removing a tree and doesn't want the wood we are happy to take the larger pieces off their hands.  We will coordinate with whoever is cutting the tree down.  Just send an email to Don Brice at maxdalil@hotmail.com.  Please try to give us a week or more lead time so we can arrange to get volunteers to come and harvest the wood.  We're happy to help turn trash into treasures.
