I have an old maple tree that has grown too large that is next to my house. I'd estimate the diameter is 3 ft + with numerous limbs that have grown out of the trunk. It looks to be on its last legs.
It needs to come down. The question I have is it worth trying to get wood from it for a stock. I have no idea what the grain would look like nor do I know if it is full of spalted wood.
Is this one of those things that sounds better in theory than in practice?
Thanks.
