Looks great John. Congrats. Wish I could find wood like that around here. Don't you just love it when the family jumps in. That is great.

Can't wait to see it:) :)

[Jim Dunn]

OH OH I need some of that. I need a place for my tootsies. Do I have to turn barefooted?

[Keith Christopher]

Oh don't think John stumbles upon this wood, oh no he's like a blood hound....

John did you manage to get any of that tulipwood from that yard ?

[John Hart]

Jim...I never turn barefooted...My skew fell on my foot one day and told me that it might not be such a good idea! Try filling your shoes with shavings!!:D

Keith C....Nope...never made it back to the Tulipwood. Since your visit, today is the first wood run I've done. Too busy I reckon. By the way, your pile of wood is doing well. Sometimes late at night, I think I hear it calling your name!:)

[John Miliunas]

Dang it, John! It's no wonder I have no luck finding stuff like that...YOU snagged all the luck! :mad: Great score, my friend! :D :cool:

[John Shuk]

The Anchorseal people be lovin them some John Hart! Nice haul.

[Andy Hoyt]

Eye Candy. Pass the maple syrup please.

[George Conklin]

Oh Man! What a haul!!!

Hey! Your dog is slackinig! I don't see him helping on the anchorseal team:D .

You're a lucky man.

George

[John Shuk]

Oh Man! What a haul!!!

George
Yeah soak his tail, back him up to a pile and give his ears a scratch!

[Jim Ketron]

Nice haul John!

[Travis Stinson]

Nice haul indeed!
Now tell the truth, what else did you have to do to get the kids to help out?:confused:

[John Hart]

Oh Man! What a haul!!!

Hey! Your dog is slackinig! I don't see him helping on the anchorseal team:D .

You're a lucky man.

George

Guess what...German Shepherds think that anchorseal is tastey! Duncan's nose was completely white and she kept licking it off the concrete. Goofy mutt.:rolleyes:

[John Miliunas]

Oh Man! What a haul!!!

Hey! Your dog is slackinig! I don't see him helping on the anchorseal team .

George

Shhhhhhhh!!! The girls shooo'd the dog away! They're all pitching in, whilst thinking, "This will earn us a horse fer sure!" :D :cool:

[John Hart]

Nice haul indeed!
Now tell the truth, what else did you have to do to get the kids to help out?:confused:

Ok ok...I told them that I would give them 10 cents per blank. They even turned off the TV!:)

[Jim Dunn]

John on a serious note, is anchor seal safe for doggy's?? If it isn't you'll have a horse for sure.

[John Hart]

Shhhhhhhh!!! The girls shooo'd the dog away! They're all pitching in, whilst thinking, "This will earn us a horse fer sure!" :D :cool:

neigh! neigh!!:D

[Jeff Singleton]

Mother Nature has been very nice to you indeed. I bet you wish that was all stacked at the new shop.

Happy Splinters,
Jeff Singleton:)

[John Miliunas]

neigh! neigh!!:D

10 cents a blank? You're a good Dad, John! At the rate you bring that stuff home, they'll have enough saved up for a horse in no time!!!:D :D :D :cool:

[John Hart]

John on a serious note, is anchor seal safe for doggy's?? If it isn't you'll have a horse for sure.

Jim...I just ran over to the Ucoatings site to check for an MSDS. Didn't find one. It just says that it's non toxic and environmentally friendly. It's a water based wax emulsion so I don't think there's a problem. But you got me thinkin'!!! Thanks

Oh yeah...no doubt about that. The wait is killing me Jeff.

[Corey Hallagan]

Is ambrosia maple actually a species of maple or does it reference a type of spalting?

Corey

[Mike Ramsey]

Seen the post and hated to look but couldn't help myself....nice haul
John!!

[Jim Becker]

Jim...I never turn barefooted...My skew fell on my foot one day and told me that it might not be such a good idea!

Yet another reason to ban the evil skew from existence! :)

------
Nice haul on the pre-packaged cellulose products, John!

[John Hart]

Is ambrosia maple actually a species of maple or does it reference a type of spalting?

Corey

Nope...The ambrosia part is the result of a stain caused by the infiltration of the Ambrosia Beetle. They'll bore into the wood and the multi-colored stain is the result of their....um....living there.;) You'll notice on any ambrosia maple, there are bore holes near the staining. It's beautiful stuff. That's one bug that does nice art!

[Dick Parr]

Great haul John......:D

[Jim Dunn]

It's a water based wax emulsion so I don't think there's a problem. But you got me thinkin'!!! Thanks

Just wait till tomorrow. What with the waxy build up, you better beat your dog to the door, or you'll be cleaning the foyer:eek::eek::p

Nice job your workers are doing. I'd have had to threaten my boys with great bodily harm to get them to help.:o

[Corey Hallagan]

LOL... well great, isn't that nice. Well it looks cool, does it require special crud deflector or anything like some of that other stuff you have turned :)

Corey

[John Hart]

heh heh...naw Corey. Ambrosia Maple is very clean. I've never even seen one of the beetles. You'll like it.:) You should do a search for some of the posts that others have done. Jim Ketron has some great pieces that really show it off.

[Glenn Hodges]

I sure wish we had that kind of maple down here. As usual you did good.

[Gary Max]

Hey John I have a MSDS from Anchorseal

Ingestion--- Not expected to be acutely toxic. May cause irritation of digestive tract

You may have to run the dog off next time.

[John Hart]

She was fine this morning...in fact, she was very happy! Maybe I should give her a bowl of it!!:D

[Ernie Nyvall]

John, I like your kind of huntin. I mean when I go find a downed tree, it's still got limbs, bark, etc. Your trees fall into nice stacks of lumber. I want to learn how to hunt better.:D

I think we need a "Tree Huntin" video by John Hart.

Ernie

[Mike Ramsey]

Seen this on the net today, A house near cleveland collapsed. Seems a vandal or vandals ran off with several major support beams made of Maple & cherry that was holding the house up!
John, don't you live in Cleveland?

[John Hart]

Well...maybe...I don't remember.

Where's my lacquer?:)

[John Hart]

I think we need a "Tree Huntin" video by John Hart.....

Hey Maybe I oughta do that!

I had fun. It was all free too!;)

[Barry Stratton]

That is an amazing haul - and free???? Man, I've got to move. And what is up with NO SNOW in your pictures? Don't you lower 48 types get winter? I mean, it is February........

Still waiting for my baby lathe......
