Thanks...

[Jim Becker]

Yesterday, Dr. SWMBO discovered a heavy box in the front of the house left by DHL. (Apparently, they have drivers who can't read signs that say, "All deliveries in the back" since we don't use that door...)

Turns out ;) it was a nice hunk of wood from "some outfit" called Wood N Heart run by Dave Smith. No explanation in the box, so I emailed him. He was "only authorized to say that it is Golden or Honey Locust Burl"...

So...to whomever is the "culprit", THANKS! The burl looks wonderful!

[Keith Burns]

Cool:) :) :)

Hey Andy,

A Stubby is when you haven't shaved to at least 2 days. :p :rolleyes: :D

[Cecil Arnold]

That gray thing (Stubby) doesn't look like anything to eat, like mayo or mustard.

[Ernie Nyvall]

Very cool. Great gloat Jim.

Very nice Jim. Can't wait to see what you make out of it.

[Kevin Gerstenecker]

Well Jim, I'll "fess up".........I am the culprit behind Dave sending you the Burl Wood. I'll explain the "why" behind it privately in an email. I hope you enjoy turning something beautiful from it. With your skills, I am sure you are up for the challenge! Enjoy! :)

[Jim Becker]

Thanks so much, Kevin. Really appreciated...and I did get your email a few minutes ago.

I don't know what I'll turn from this yet...I will have to study it carefully to figure out what will be the best form(s) for this very nice chunk of burl. That may take a little time, but I know I'll enjoy creating it!

Now I know how to get rid of some of this nasty older wood I have around here I'll just send it to Jim with Dave's address & shop name of Wood N Heart on the return label. I'm sure Jim will figure out how to make something out of it.:D Maybe even toothpicks???:eek:

Congratulations on the hauled. Yes it was hauled before you ever even knew it was there.:D :D :D

Now get out there & warm that spinny thing up.

I just may take my spinny thing outside today if its warm enough & spin something if its to cold I'll stay inside.
