I HIT THE MOTHERLODE!!!!!!!!!!

[Denco]

The pastor of my church called me up this weekend. Here's a loose account of the conversation:

Pastor: "Hey, Den, can you use some teak wood to turn?"

Den: "Sure. How much ya got and how much do you want for it?"

Pastor: "Oh, it's free. My uncle has it and doesn't know what to do
with it. I'll bring you the first post. It's 4"x4"x4 feet."

Den: "The first post? How much does he have?"

Pastor: "A big pile of it in his back yard. All 4x4x4's"

Den: <THUD!....Den passes out>

Pastor: "Den?....Den?.. Are you there, Den?"

As a thank you, I turned a box out of it for my pastor's aunt and uncle. The box isn't Ken's calibre, but it turned out really well. I took a picture, but I have to have the film developed before I can post it. I used many of the techniques I've read about on Ken's site and from asking questions. (Whether you like it or not, Ken, you've become a mentor.)

The moral of the story? "Go to church and you'll get blessed in ways you didn't count on". (shameless plug, but I'm really into God. No offense intended to anyone)---Den

Well that is great! Good wood score for sure. I glad you turned a box for him, that is a nice gesture.

At my office the company has a mentoring program and it is part of my PE that I mentor two people this year and I already have them but I guess a third one will be ok. Thanks for the nice complement.

the "blow by blow" on the conversation was great LOL.
Great haul!

Great haul Den. Sounds like you have been doing something right.

Congratulations on the wood, Den! Be sure to post pictures when the film gets developed.

A big pile of Teak 4x4's 4' long...several words to describe you (mostly derogatory) come to mind.[:0] I'll stick with "Congrats on one helluva haul!"
