Silky Oak is a problem tree, the sap and sawdust from this timber produces a significant allergic reaction in a large number of people, plus the roots cause damage to pathways and fences. It is a beautifully grained wood that can used effectively ornamentally, so long as the finished product is well sealed. Unfortunately the allergic reaction one gets from working this timber is one hell of a price to pay.( Face and hands and arms all puffed up and red, very itchy, and ones eyes virtually closed out. |

To my surprise, I could then see that the base of the tree was angled more than the upper trunk, that is to say, the upper trunk was slowly straightening itself up, which was very encouraging. Who said trees were stupid? This one clearly has a self preservation instinct. :D Cheers Billy 8-{) |
