Frank, when you say "wood guy" are you saying lumber or firewood?
There's a firewood "factory" around the corner from me. I see that he sets crotches and gnarly pieces aside, since they don't split well..I'm thinking that I need to introduce myself.
BTW, nice haul..

Steve,
You should introduce yourself, Thats how I meet this guy. He's a tree trimmmer/ firewood guy who also deals in burl, but the burls he's after need to weigh a least 1000lbs. I've also got wood from several other tree trimers in the area.

I have connections with tree guys at two colleges.
I will try to connect with this guy.
I found that a gift of something turned from their wood is appreciated, and keeps the flow of wood going.

That wood is So nice. I'm jealous

Looks like the dust from that wood is probably poisonous (especialy the redwood burl). You should send it to me for proper disposal.
Really nice wood.
