Got me a load of Box Elder

[Jerry Rhoads]

Found me some Box Elder at the Landscape Recycling Center a couple of days ago.
My operarator "Buddy" was not there that day. Looks like a 30" x 11' trunk of this tree is near the bottom of one of the large piles of tree trunks.
I will see if he is there one day next week, hope someone does not get it.

Looks like a good haul Jerry - I'm even more impressed by the fact that you haul your lathe around in the vehicle with you, ready to turn at a moment's notice!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great haul Jerry. Looks like some nice BE.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Congrats on the BE! Can really make for some beautiful turnings!

[Roger Chandler]

Is that a mobile turning studio you are hauling that wood in? I noticed the lathe in the background.......

[Steve bellinger]

Really nice hall ya got going there.Not only do i see a lathe, but is that a couple burls there also?

[Jim Burr]

Dang Jerry! Nice grab...now go make something!

[Jim Underwood]

That mini won't turn those big chunks, better ship 'em to me.:D

If you had a bandsaw or a chainsaw in that van, that mini might stand a chance a turnin' a coupla those...

just sayin.

[John Keeton]

Jerry, much of what you have there will have fantastic figure! Great score, and hope you get the rest.

[Joe Landon]

Thanks for the heads up Jerry. I see a road trip to Urbana in my near future.

[Scott Hackler]

Awesome score. I LOVE box elder. There is just something about a wood with red streaks that makes me smile.

[Jerry Rhoads]

"Have lathe, will turn", can bring wood.
I do shows most weekends from mid April to Christmas. At most I demonstrate and promote woodturning(sometimes with solar panels). This lathe stays in van(except on weekends at the shows.
Yes I need to get busy turning something.
Still have five lathes in the turning shop.
Couple of Redbud burls in there, chainsaws still out by woodpile,
Next time I go there, the people who go there to gat wood to sell may have EVERYthing cleaned out.
It is hit and miss

Great score! I hope I come across some box elder one of these days. It's on my list of never turned woods! Can't wait to see what comes out of that haul.
