Wood Gloat - My first real one!!

[CrashResq]

I had some friends from work who lost some trees in the recent Oklahoma ice storm who asked me if I wanted some of the downed trees. Last Saturday I got a pickup truck load of Black Walnut and yesterday I got a pickup truck load of Redbud. Here are some pictures of the Walnut, the Redbud (and my little truck ) and the Rikon Bandsaw I bought just for when I finally got some wood like this

Nice haul! I can see your BS is going to get a workout.

Well that deserves a YOU SUCK for sure All that's down around here seems to be pecan, elm and bradford pear.

It just feels funny to congratulate you on your wood and express wood envy.

It's all in the context I suppose....grats! great looking wood!

[CrashResq]

Don - I got enough to share if you're interested in some... and I'm still thru Shawnee on the way to OKC at least once a week... got three projects going on there now!

Rob - that 'bout made me shoot beer out my nose... still laughing at that one..

mpauly - uncut log end grain has all been anchor sealed and then I'm anchor sealing as I cut (this stuff cracks fast)
