I lost a huge Pear tree in a recent thunderstorm :crybaby2: (more like a small tornado!8-O ). I was wondering if I could use the wood for some project, rather than discarding it. The trunk is probably 12" at the bottom, very straight, with no limbs for 7-8'. After that its all smaller 5-7" branches forking off the main trunk. Am I wasting my time? Thanks in advance for any tips....
