Thanks Mark.

The horse chestnut came from a farm in the village they had three taken down due to rot in the main trunks.

OR

It is great to turn wet you just need to wear a raincoat so much water.
May go back and get some more if I can move it, the logs are on my photo bucket account you can see the size of the trunk

apologies I was not too clear was I

I meant turning it. I have found it cut like hot knife through butter but I left some for a few months and when I went to turn it, it was too soft.

Nice how you found it too. Nothing like using local wood. well not nice as we are loosing a lot of horse chestnut now due to this desease, but you know what I mean.
