I went to the dump yesterday and just happened to go look in the stump pile. Wonder of wonders it was my lucky day. Someone had left me a pile of cherry wood with some increadible figure. Now I am partial to cherry anyway, but these pieces are beautiful. I hope my pictures can do the wood justice. I spent all morning cutting off the cracks and sealing up the ends. I can't wait to turn them.

Congrats!

I can't believe you only took that much. Better get back out there and get the rest of it.

Wow!!! Beautiful wood! I love to turn Cherry - so am just a little jealous! Looking forward to seeing what you turn out of it!

Nice find. It looks like there is a lot of interesting grain patterns going on in there.

I can't, for the life of me, understand how someone could throw away such treasures. There ought to be a law.http://www.sawmillcreek.org/images/icons/icon7.gif

Matt, Your "dump" should be listed in Places To See when visiting your area. The chainsaw behind the seat in my truck is very envious.
