    Just wondering if anyone knows where any trees may have blown down with the strong winds recently? I am a novice woodturner, I turn bowls, vases and lamps and only use wood from trees that fell naturally or had to be cut down for road works or development work.

    You're aware of the large tree that fell onto a car in Clara about a week ago?

    A big beech tree fell at the 12th hole on the golf course in Abbeyleix.

    I know that. It's just a lot to them are cut for firewood but sometimes people realise they might be useful to woodturners or carvers.
