My neighbour and I have a box elder standing on the property line between our houses. It's already had a large branch (almost 2 ft. across at the base) come down and he feels it's time to take the tree down. I tend to agree as we have had some pretty high winds this year and if that brings it down it's going to hit my house. What I would like to know is other than firewood what can the wood be used for. Saw the article in wood magazine this month and the branch at least is full of bright red streaks but I don't have a lathe.
Thanks Rick
