First Wood Gloat

[Paul Merrill]

I got a call Thursday morning that one of my trees fell into my neighbors yard, that evening, with some help, we got it all cut up, hauled away and stacked. I wasn't able to get it sealed until the next evening, due to darkness and exhaustion. I ended up with about a truckload of Box Elder, it seems to have some nice red coloring in it. Now to find time to turn!

[Billy Tallant]

Nice gloat Paul! That load looks like it should keep you busy for a little while.

[John Keeton]

Paul, in addition to color, from the look of some of that, I bet there is some nice figure, too. Hope so - great haul!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Looks like quite the haul Paul!! Looking forward to when we can get together and turn!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great haul. Looking forward to seeing some turnings.

[Roger Chandler]

Wooo hoooo! nice haul!

[Betty Fox]

Very nice. It's interesting how your perception about trees changes. I read a book once about a man who lived in Alaska who described his trees in terms of cords. I walk around my yard and measure my trees in terms of vases. As in...... Hmm that walnut looks about fifty vases high.
Great haul. You'll get at least fifty bowls out of it.

[gary Zimmel]

Looks like a sweet stash Paul... Thats going to keep you going for a while.

[Jon Nuckles]

Looks like a lot of work and a lot of future turnings! The strong contrast between the heartwood and sapwood should create some nice design options. Have fun.
