Lol.... I have boxes of them.. I find it really hard to throw away nice looking wood.... As you say, I have them in case I ever need to plug something or to find a match for whatever..
If you happen to be near East London I can sort you out some if you want... Better than it just sitting there doing nothing in my eyes

That has reminded me a few years ago at the Harrogate model engineering show, one of the clubs had lots of model wooden wheelbarrows made from different woods. There must of been well over 30, and it still sticks in my mind because one of them is the only time I've seen hawthorn used to make something worthwhile.
Thorny bushes are horrendous to deal with. Especially hawthorn with it's 2-3 inch thorns that will skewer you, and you can't pick it up without it snagging on something. I've seen a couple high-viz vests go through wood chippers, because the thorns have grabbed a hold. You get three part vests with poppers up the sides for this very reason!
And if it's berberis, the thorns are poisonous just for added fun. My brother got to spend a week in hospital with a septic thumb due to a splinter from one.
Children, don't do that at home. When you're using a chainsaw, make sure that your feet are firmly planted to keep a stable balance. Don't over-reach with the saw, only cut what's in comfortable reach.
And *never* run with it. Unless you're really in a hurry.
