Any WAA Members here?

[Jim Ketron]

Yes I admit I'm a Wood-Aholic :o
I find nice wood and I just can't say no!
I just don't know when to say when! :o

Here is my pile of Ambrosia Maple this pile is from 2 nice size trees.
Now comes the fun part cutting blanks and sealing them up.
I should have some nice blanks the last tree I cut had some nice curl in the trunk of the tree.

Hey...I'M not a member...but I know someone who is.....

According to the 12 step program, the 1st step is to send some of your stash to me. ;)

Really....

I'm not kiddin.....

look it up.

[Travis Stinson]

Guilty!:o
Man, that's quite a haul there Jim!:D

[Michael Stafford]

I founded the organization and have relapsed so many times all the wood companies have my credit card number on file.... I buy wood even though I no longer have room to stand in my shop. Please don't send me any more wood....I just want to OD and be done with it.....:o

[Gil Jones]

Hi Jim,
Yup, I am an AAW member, what is a WAA.
Have fun with the chunks, looks like enough to keep you busy for a while.

[Terry Quiram]

Nice haul Jim. To bad you don't have a 55 gal barrel of Anchorseal then you could dip them.

....I just want to OD and be done with it.....:o
Michael,
I can only assume that “OD” refers to “outside diameter” here.

Frank, I am a bona fide wood junkie. I love wood and buy wood, collect wood, and stash wood beyond all reasonable lifetime use expectancy. But I cannot help myself. I have to keep turning just to be able to get in the shop....:p :o

[Raymond Overman]

While not a professional WAA member Jim, I think you'd qualify as a top seated amateur. An enthusiast at the very least. Nice looking haul there.

I on the other hand, have a stash in every corner and a few pieces that are hidden "just in case" if you know what I mean. The first step to getting better is to want to get better. Personally, I'm not ready to take the first step. I don't see an intervention in my future either.

[Tony Sizemore]

I gave a truck load away today. I had it for so long, and didn't have time to get to it the is had started checking and cracking. As I say that I'm thinking dam I wish was cloaser... I'd help you with some of that pile! LOL
Yep I have a problem :-(

[Andy Hoyt]

Hey all you WAAers.

Go check in with the Cleveland Lacquer Lab - they're running a special.

[Jim Ketron]

No Lacquer here Andy!
Got any Anchorseal?

[Brad Hart]

by the looks of it that came from a silver maple and whether or not you seal the ends you should get a few pallets to stack it on. If you don't some of it will go punky pretty quickly and you will loose a lot of the intensity of the ambrosia and end up with an ugly grey blue stain.

[Mike Ramsey]

I just sealed up 4 huge chunks of Pecan, I can imagine the work
you're in for! Nice Big Gloat Jim!

[Jim Ketron]

Brad, I have been at this turning stuff for a while and have worked a lot of blanks and sold a bunch also, especially Silver maple. This pile will be worked down to bowl and HF blanks within the next week and setting in my shop for my use and also selling! so it will be fine where it's at for now:rolleyes:

[Scott Fernald]

Yes Jim - I'm a WAA'er and I don't even have my lathe yet!

Just my luck - I bet the Weber City you are in is the one that is 400 miles from me, not the 100 mile away one...

Not that I need any more wood piled in the garage!

[Keith Burns]

Well Jim, that sure is a nice haul !! I didn't think there was any timber left in Va though. :eek: Did you have to go to Tennessee to cut it ?:D :rolleyes:

[Dick Parr]

Great looking haul Jim, let me know when you are ready to start selling some.:D

I am almost out of turning stock.:eek: :rolleyes: :p
