Beechwood Chip Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Pendle Hill is a Quaker study center located in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, a dozen miles from Philadelphia, near Swarthmore College. They have a bunch of wood that they've harvested from trees on their property. Mostly limbs from a beech that is over 300 years old. In addition to the beech, "which has exquisite figuring, there’s also wood from a spectacular Kentucky Coffee tree as well as some specially selected walnut and cherry." They want to use it to make "wooden goods that could be sold to benefit Pendle Hill. [...] We visualize wood art projects made from these limbs by local artists and crafts people to celebrate our values and sustainability.” That's all I know - I'm passing this along for a friend of mine. Might be fun, you can probably put a price on what you make and claim it on your taxes as a charitable donation, and it might be a way to meet potential clients and other woodworkers in your area (if that's your area).

WoodFascination Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Beechwood, I was interested in finding out how successful your post was here, and also offering a similar advertisement. I have a 12' high straight section, 29" black walnut log which I would offer to a woodworker willing to donate the finished project to one of a number of area charities I'm familiar with. There is an estimated 275+ board feet of lumber in the log, though it might be better used for a series of turning projects. I welcome direct contact about this by phone or email, though replies first to here indicating what prospective crafters might want to do with a part of the tree and where I would need to bring the wood to are most welcomed. I am in Batavia, NY 14020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwood Chip Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I haven't heard anything - but I wouldn't expect to. I was just passing along the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
