Helped myself to a load of Willow logs this morning. They had been cut down and just dumped in the Lee Valley Park. Good for making some Bowl Mates, bowls and chopping blocks etc.
It's amazing what you can get away with if you don a high-viz jacket these days. Everyone assumes you've got a right to be doing whatever it is - add in a hard hat and a clipboard you could get away with murder! I'll probably go back because there's an absolute mountain of logs.

I also like to forage for timber and carry a saw when out for a walk. Just in case I come across any fallen trees or branches with something of interest. Interesting blog right up my street cheers.

Hmmm a two holer - very chummy!
What are 'Bowl Mates'?
Boldness is the key!
It's looking fantastic, Robin. Well done.
And the hi-viz ploy is a winner. I friend does the same thing all the time.He even has an orange light on top of the van and leaves it flashing. Nobody ever questions him when he's by the roadside removing felled wood.

Bowl Mate is the name coined by Robin Wood for a bowl carving horse see one here -

You do right Robin- a man after my own heart. It would only sit there and rot, and will probably coppice back anyway.
