"We have a policy of using the whole tree. The brush and brash is chipped for mulch. The main butt is graded for planks and beams. Substantial boughs can be converted into crooks and swept beams for timber framing.

Off cuts (falling boards and slabwood) are converted into firewood. Slabwood also supplies green naturally edged wood turning blanks."
