[Steve Schlumpf]

I could see some of the punk areas but there is still a lot of wood left! Might give a turning some additional character!

[Hayes Rutherford]

Wow, that will keep you busy!

Chuck it Patrick, before you get chucked in the head! Nice protein! Do you like stir fry?:)

[patrick stein]

lol baxter,

stir fry some times. i sure do hate to waste it but you might be right.



thanks patrick


ps
nice haul on the burls

[Mike Cruz]

Man, those sure turned out funky, Patrick. Sorry to put you through the trouble just to burn it. Maybe the other pieces will turn out better. No pun intended.

That is one UGLY sucker! Just don't confuse which one goes on your lips...

Looking forward to seeing the oak...that I turned down...

[patrick stein]

mike ,

will start on the oak again tomorrow.

Hey, Patrick, my neighbor cut off the rest of what was above ground from the tree. Think anything could be saved from this? :D

Mike..........that one has some potential! Might oughta get out the chainsaw!

[John Hart]

Geez...you guys are outta control!!! Just the way I like it :)

[patrick stein]

hey mike ,

maybe haha


patrick

[Mike Cruz]

Well, Roger, what size chainsaw you got there, huh, buddy? I'm sure my neighbor could be talked into letting us cut 'er up...

[Jon Nuckles]

Don't know what size chainsaw you'll need, but don't bring the electric. You'll need the noise to scare off the guard dogs!

[patrick stein]

jon

we could get by with 24inch or couple nice steaks lol


patrick

[Jon Nuckles]

If they don't turn around, maybe we could just sneak up from behind and tiptoe off with the log. Then we could eat the steaks ourselves. I'll carry the chainsaw, you get the log.

[patrick stein]

jon,

very good im in lol


patrick

[Mike Cruz]

I'll make it easy, gas chainsaw (no power anywhere near that for an electric one), they are my dogs (so I can "call them off"), and I could grill up the steaks (although the dogs are still sitting there guarding the log, so it might be nice to toss steaks to the dogs, too). And I won't make poor Patrick carry that log off, I'll take my tractor (not the ATV and cart this time, Patrick) down to carry the wood up.

BTW, the dogs are in the pic for frame of reference, the boxer is 50 lbs and the lab mix is 60 lbs.
