I am getting into greenwood carving and have been mistaken for Barn the Spoon 3 times now so it seems ineviatable. The hardest thing is finding fresh green wood which is dried out and still easily carvable now. I've carved a few spoons and potentially have an in with a pole lathe. So very keen but need to find a friendly tree surgeon preferably south london who I might ply with beer if they can but the odd log my way, upto 12inch long, ideally 6-8 inch diameter knot and shake free. It softwoods ash/birch/willow/chestnut (fruit tree wood at a push) nothing hard/coniferous/tropical. Any ideas/suggestions welcome
