    I'm just jealous you guys have those species. We don't have any local maple around here, it just won't grow
    well depending on the way I would travel, I'm roughly 2,340 miles to 2,529 miles away from the infamous STEVE SCHLUMPF!!!!

    What about those Avocado Trees, can you turn them? A friend of mine who lives out there gets them for firewood. I have been wondering if they are worth turning. Though about getting him to Flat Rate Box me some to try, or would that just be a waste of $12.00?

    Avocado is great to turn. I have a few pieces that I sealed in wax last summer that have a nice amount of spalting on them now. They turn nicely and have a good amount of natural oil in them.
