I'm on the look out for a big length of tree trunk to cut into live edge boards to make a table in a school nature garden. The size of trunk that would work is 3.5 metres long with a circumference of around 2 metres.


I'm involved in a community work space and we could come with milling equipment to cut the trunk up on your property and take it away. Other members of the work space would also use some boards for other projects as well and we could leave you some as a thank you if you want to make something with them. So if you are planning to take down a tree of this sort of size at some point, please let me know. We can't cut it down for you or remove the rest of it but a tree surgeon might give you a better price for the job if they don't have to cut up and remove the biggest section of the trunk.


The table will be used to sit a class of 30 early years children around and will enable them to have some lessons outside and make the most of the school's lovely nature garden and spend more time in it. So I would be very grateful if anyone has a tree that fits this description that they are planning to remove that they would be happy to donate. It would be a really wonderful resource for lots of children. Most kinds of tree would work, expect elder which has a soft spongy core so is not good. Oak or sweet chestnut would be amazing.


The school is Bessemer Grange Primary School and the community workshop is the South London Makerspace. Thank you for reading this post!

      Such a shame the Odeon and bowling at Surrey Quays has gone

      Over a 1,000 affordable homes, a new park, jobs and businesses where there is currently a huge car park? I’ll take the former, yeh. I know you’re obsessed with encouraging more cars everywhere, but we actually need housing and this is not a sustainable or desirable vision for London imo:

      Exactly....perhaps some of those commenting on here never went to either the cinema or the bowling alley but they were always very busy whenever I went - so they were both very well used resources. I am sorry to see them go but you know, good that they have been shut down because it gets rid of the car park.....#rollseyes No it's not but do we take it then that your vision of London then is huge swathes of over-priced loft-style apartments or luxury apartment blocks sold to the most wealthy, that come with a coffee shop, a 24-hour over-priced supermarket, an expensive gym and pool and a separate (discreet) entrance for those living in the (few) affordable houses that were built (for sale or often rent) to satiate planning requirements (that often start with a bold commitment but then gets significantly diluted throughout the process)? I refer you to the Elephant and Castle Masterplan.......funny how the architects seemingly always refer to them as masterplans.... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/24/developers-ruining-cities-elephant-and-castle-london

      The rail connection is quite quick BUT Surrey Quays is not mobility accessible. It's an old station with a steep flight of stairs IIRC. I've always gone one stop further to the redeveloped (or as some would have it "socially cleansed and gentrified") Canada Water station which has a lift, and then come back. The last time I went to the Surrey Quays shops half of the units looked empty and two scrotes with an angle grinder were stealing a bike from the bike rack.
