Mine either.  This would have to be for decorative purposes, like a driveway, only.  I can't see a proper road being made out of them.   Water/ice would get through and the pavement would eventually buckle.  The base would have to be very strong to hold up to trucks.  I think it's neat though.

I've already got a buckled asphalt driveway, Charlie, thanks to the forest I live in.  They don't allow us to cut down trees.   I'm all the time cutting out roots but it's a never ending job, unfortunately.

Update to last post Jim

So you're not allowed to cut the forest down tree by tree ?

How about running them there trees over ?

I don't know about leaving from England but they might confiscate it over here...or let you through depending on who's doing the checking. :wink:

I have both an electric and gas powered chain saw.  I like the electric one the best.

Dig a ditch either side of the driveway Jim.
Forces the tree roots lower so they don't buckle the tarmac.
