Google this time has let me down! so could I ask if anyone could shed some light as what this tree is and more importantly as I plan to carve some spoons from it, if it contains any nasty chemicals
thank you
p.s where do I upload an image to here? all I can see is an http box but not a way to uload an image from my phone

The direct way is only available to full members.

If that is not you then do you have Dropbox or something similar? Upload your pictures to that and post the link here.

Edited to add:
I don’t know how familiar you are with file handling but:

Basic Dropbox is free.
When you’ve shared a picture with your Dropbox account all you do is tap on the link symbol and a link is copied to your clip board. All you have to do then is to click onto your new post in BcUK, tap [paste] and a link will appear - job done.

Thank you Pattree- much appreciated
My neighbour has just told me that she reckons it is

Populus alba or White Poplar

so my next question is: is this would safe to use for kitchen utensils?
