    Cherry, Maple & Elm oh my!

    I think I hit pay dirt. My sister had a hickory tree come down, too dead and rotten to turn. Good firewood though. A lady at work heats her house with wood and had some good turning wood and using it as firewood. So we swapped hickory firewood for lots of cherry, maple and elm. I have been promised about 2.5 cherry trees. The pic below is the first of at least 10 loads. I need to get cutting and sealing. Its time for a bigger, stronger lathe.

    Hmmm, seems that you may need some help with all that "firewood"
    LOL
    Cheri and I have had a dry spell when it comes to "found wood"
    However the turning angels smiled upon us friday and we scored a pick up load of cedar, birch and a mulberry log.
    Have fun!
