Unfortunately in tree work many trees are subject to being felled.

In doing so a lot of good wood is wasted as fire wood.

There is a solution or an option to consider. You could have your timber carved into something unique for whatever reason you could wish for. If you would like to consider having a wood carving done you can contact the people below for details. They are all personal friends of mine and come highly recommended.
Below are some images of carvings by Leigh Sherlock & Stuart Thomson. Both Leigh & Stuart specialize in abstract or natural sculptures. They are usually commissioned for big projects from garden furniture to large ornamental sculptures.
