It's Alive!

[John Hart]

Well, I went to the storage room to grab some buckeye tonight and discovered that three different pieces have sprouted! I don't know how normal this is....but it sure shocked me. I coulda sworn that I killed it!:D

Well there ya go John. New tree for the new place. I have only seen that happen once before.

[Mark Singer]

Shlamaca killer!:eek:

[John Hart]

Shlamaca killer!:eek:

No no no! ATTEMPTED Shlamaca killer.

[Keith Burns]

The wood is like our habit, you can never kill it....it never really dies:eek:

[Ernie Nyvall]

That's funny John. The same thing happened to my mesquite. I started to cover a piece up to see if it would grow roots. Never did though.

[Andy Hoyt]

Well this certainly explains why that chunk of buckeye I got from you won't lose any weight!

[Jim Dunn]

John what you feeding it. Osage orange? Or ice-cream?

[Larry Klaaren]

Hoosiers understand, Buckeyes can do what they want, when they want, your place or theirs.;)

. . . Of course I'm more of a Hawkeye fan, so that does not apply.:D

Sorry, couldn't resist,
Larry

[Dick Parr]

John I have the same thing growing on mine:eek:

[Earl Eyre]

I'd go ahead and plant those. In 30 or 40 years you should have some nice tree to cut down and turn! :)

[Stu Ablett in Tokyo Japan]

Well there you go, can't stop nature :D

[John Hart]

John what you feeding it. Osage orange? Or ice-cream?

Neither....Just some Anchorseal. A new fertilizer maybe? Hey...I wonder if it'll bear wax fruit? :eek: :rolleyes:

[David Fried]

Ever watch Fern Valley with the kids?

[John Miliunas]

Well, I think most turners like to turn green wood but, our Mr. Hart insists on taking it to the next level!!! :eek: :D :cool:

[Cody Colston]

Aaron's staff musta been Buckeye. ;)

When I was a kid on the farm in Iowa, we used to cut down "hedge fences", and made posts out of the hedge (sometimes to replace the hedge fence with a regular fence). Those hedge posts would sometimes grow.

BTW, try pounding steeples into a fenceline of hedge posts for a day! That is one hard wood.
