Well, we're moved into the new shop....er, I mean.......house. The LOML has really made it nice. We've both been working very hard, but she's home with 2 little kids, and somehow, everyday, when I get home, another project is completed. Lots of paint and sweat equity, but it's really shaping up. Have spent some time in the "Garage Mahal", in the woodshop, and will spend more time there this weekend. To the point.....
In our yard, we have 2(of about 6, total) LARGE trees that need to come down. They are right next to the house, one was hit by lightning this past spring and is all but dead.......the other is just kind of ugly and in the way(hangs over the front porch). At any rate, the smaller of the 2 is about 6 feet around, the other is nearly 8 feet. The boles measure 7' and about 8.5' tall, respectiely. Well, they will be coming down soon. And the best part...........both are black walnut. Off to the sawmill the boles and anything straight of a significant diameter will go and I will be cutting bowls blanks out of everything else that I can. Won't be cheap, but still a heck of a lot cheaper than buying this stuff elsewhere!
Sort of a pre-gloat, I guess. Pics will follow(so BACK OFF!).........as soon as we figure out where we packed the digital camera!
Best,
Russell

Not sure if I'm swallowing the "can't find the digi cam..." part, but I know moving is a real pain and I'll give you the shadow of a doubt. This time. 
(are taller then me!
) That's all of them.
Just a hypothetical.........
