In a couple of weeks we are having a huge sycamore tree (platanus
occidentalis) removed that is buckling the foundation of our barn, and also
at the same time a tulip poplar (lirodendron tulipfera) that is
aesthetically in the wrong spot. I'm wondering if any of the wood would be
of use to woodworkers anywhere? I know it's not black walnut or cherry, and
frankly, I just want the trees gone, but if the wood could be put to some
good use, I'd like to try to recycle it beyond just firewood and wood chips
for the garden.

And, since I also know nothing about firewood either, I was wondering if
either wood was considered poor quality for burning, because if it can't be
used for a woodworking project, I'd at least like to offer it to my neighbor
across the street who heats with a woodburning stove. I'd hate to think
these two trees demise was not of some use to someone.
