Hard Rock Maple----Gloat

[Gary Max]

Look at what my neighbor dropped off today.
Hard Rock Maple Burl
You want to talk about heavy----cut yesterday.
I thought the 20lb propane tank worked good for scale
Of course I sent him home with a nice gift for thinking about us.

[Gary Max]

Yup ----I am still broke but never out of wood.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Gary - congrats on the huge maple burl! Looking forward to seeing what you turn out of it!

[Jarrod McGehee]

Like Steve said, Congrats. Can't wait to see what comes from that huge hunk. Free is always a good price.

[David Christopher]

[Bernie Weishapl]

Nice gloat Gary. That is a big piece.

[Mark Norman]

Slice it up and make end tables with it?

I've seen what you do on your web site Max. Nice stuff!

[Gary Max]

Thanks Mark-----I am moving the king size bed down to the showroom this morning.
It already has a coat of sealer on it and will get finished next week.
Them just for the heck of it I am going to mount the whole blank on my lathe and spend the day playing.
On Friday we are packing and headed out to a small show hoping to get stimulated a little.
Take Care ---I got to get busy
