I definitely received an early Halloween treat when the mail lady came to the door struggling with a very heavy Priority Mail box.

Eric Gourieux sent me this block of walnut and round of fabulous Ambrosia Maple as a thank you for the chunk of the dead pine tree I sent him. I definitely got the better end of that deal, although I'm pretty sure the worms in the maple are dead, unlike the ones I sent to him. They sell this "wormy maple" around here as lumber, but I've never seen anything thicker than 8/4 and nothing this pretty. I hope I can do it justice.
I feel like Sheldon Cooper after he got the napkin with Leonard Nimoy's DNA on it - I should box up the rest of the pine and send it to Eric. If you don't watch The Big Bang Theory, you won't get that.
Thanks, Eric. I'll take my time and try to do it right.
BTW, that pine is checking fast. I guess I should have sealed the sides after I stripped the bark. I'm madly roughing what's left to save what I can.
