One thing I found after starting turning was I began looking at trees in a whole new way. The eye is drawn to interesting wood features and picturing how a particular bit will look as a bowl. Sometimes also thinking it a pity chainsaws are so loud.

I've got 2 oaks on site that are completely covered in burr and epicormic growths, if they ever have to be felled they will quickly be gathered up and hidden from everyone whilst I do my best gollum impressions
I've also got a few fist sizes growths high up in a Birch at the back of the field that I'm keeping an eye on

I know but I couldn’t resist the pun.
