As much as it pains me, I have to clear some stuff out and some one may as well get some use out of it. If some one wants to come by and pick em up they can have them. off the top of my head theres some Cherry, walnut, black ash and regular ash from 10 inches to maybe 18 inches. Some of its platter blanks. Theres a few ash squares down there too that I keep tripping over that are if I had to guess 5x5x14.

If someone doesn't come and get it it's probably going ot end up in the wood burner. Sorry but I'm not going to mess around shipping it, I just don't have the time right now. Summers coming and from the looks of the flat work that needs done, Gardening and farm season is fast aproaching I'm not going to get to the lathe anytime soon.

In fact now that I think about it theres a walnut log out there about 10 or 12 inches and maybe 8 feet long.

Speak up quick boys

Oh my Robert I wish I was closer. I would take some of it off your hands. Especially the cherry and walnut. Wait I gotta go get a paper towel I am drooling on my keyboard. Like I said wish I was closer.

WAIT..:eek: .. it's only 2385.18 miles and according to MAPQUEST I can be there in 35 hours. I need some help from some west coat turners for a road trip...

Gotta figure out how to save this wood.

Get trucking Don

Bernie, I used to be closer, lived in Wichita, El Dorado and Wellington for a while.

And actually rescued my nephew from Goodland, he was on his way home from Ca. and blew up his truck there. Brother and I left out of Youngstown on Wen night at 10 pm, and where back in Youngstown at 8 pm on Sat.

ash slabs and blocks

next 3 standing on edge are cherry, big one has split in it but will still make a 8 to 10 incher and a smaller one

two laying down in front are american beech

two on the end stacked are walnut

last on edge on the right are willow and black ash

I just calculated the fuel cost and at $665 for the round trip I'm afraid LOML would shoot me if I tried that. and now since Mr. Hart has a ride lined up I guess it's a mute point...:(
