    Stumbled Across a few baby pieces of wood...

    Here's my most recent haul that I will be adding to my "turning stock" to help keep me busy this summer with "round" work.

    Mark Cothren, Joe Meazle, and I all hauled wood from this one tree that was taken down in a guys yard in town. It was a rather large Sycamore tree. Mark got all that he wanted, Joe got what he wanted and I scooted by there and picked up the rest. Here's the proof.

    BTW, the Pooplan chainsaw case there is an 18" chainsaw case. It took my big Stihl to manage these pieces.

    Hey....I got two rough's in the alky bath now.

    Had to put a rain cover over the jointer so the tables wouldn't rust from all the water. turning green wood is so much fun!

    LOL. I'd have put off this "piddly" stack for that haul too. Can't wait to see pictures of some of the finished works though.
