This is great stuff guys, thanks. Keep it coming...

I've got plenty of questions, but I'll keep most of them until I've met with the sawmiller to get an idea of what he's willing to do.

It's certainly a pity about the iron, I hope it's not a deal-breaker. I believe New Zealand has a good rep regarding growing conditions for walnut timber, certainly I've seen that written before.

We have a 13-tonne digger available, so should be able to get at that root wood. The better I can plan how it should be cut up now, the less likely we'll stuff up once it's on the ground...
