I've gotten a lot of "Aesculus Hippocastanum" but I am unfamiliar with the tendancies. Does it need to be boiled like Madrone, and fruitwood or is it relatively syable?
Thank you

there was a lot of it where i grew up here in mass, never burned any as no one really cut them down.. from waht i hear its soft and near white..

i'd say spin it.. see waht comes out..
