Hi everyone - this is my first post in a long time. Today I accumulated a truckload of box elder which, as you can see, contains plenty of flame. This tree had been cut down along a nearby road in someone's yard since December, but because of weather/work/ and a general lack of time during daylight hours, I hadn't gotten a chance to go after it. Well, yesterday I stopped to see the owner and he told me to take as much as I wanted. Today I obliged him. Now I just need to find some time to make some blanks!

I'm suppose to be getting a Box Elder tree next week along with a Silver leaf maple if they are cut on schedule.I cannot hardly wait.

Great score... Looks like it was a pretty good sized tree. Photos at the finish line now mandatory.:D

Jon - congrats on all that beautiful wood! Be sure to seal it if you can't get to it right away - hate to see it get ruined!

Looking forward to seeing what you turn out of it!

Be sure to give them a bowl or platter as a thank you for the wood.
