As I was working today I saw some guys picking up after a tree was cut and there was this massive section laying on the ground, I asked the guys if I could have it and they looked at me and said if I could load it was mine.
So I called the misses and Said "Woman Bring me my chainsaw!" well I didn't actually say that cause if I did she would of hung up on me and well you know the rest. So I asked nicely for her to bring me my chainsaw. A way to little 16" craftsmen and I proceeded to cut it up as I was trying to cut the biggest of 3 sections I ran out out gas . DOH! I had to carry them cross a road as it was to dangerous to park there My back is gonna hurt tomorrow! These things are big I can allready see big salad bowls and hollow forms statrting to magicly apper in them.
Now for some questions- Is this hard maple? I am thinking that's what it is. I haven't bought any anchorseal yet I plan to next tuesday so can I just panit the ends tonight and leave it that way for a week till I get some anchorseal?
and next I pick this burl up last week It looks bigger than it is as the bark is very thick but how would you cut this and use it?
Thanks,
Bob
