I'm glad you added Horse Chestnut. I use it a lot and I love to work with it. I have used it for Dulcimer bodies and it sounds excellent 😊 ॐ

Nice info. not sure about the map. The emblem of Kyiv in Ukraine is the horse chestnut, of which there are100s of thousands of trees in Ukraine. :)

Brian Griffiths Cheers Brian, sounds like that's the place for conkers then

[@briangriffiths937]

It's one of the native species I don't have on my land. Got maple, walnut, spruce, pine and oak, sadly no chestnut.

Brian Griffiths I don't have the space for any large trees, but I'm lucky enough to have great woodlands nearby
