My wife told me last night that one of her employees' husband trims trees for a living. He said I could help myself to his woodpile. Just went and picked up some walnut and cherry. He is going to be on the lookout for "special" pieces for me. Best part they only live 2 miles down the road.

two of my favorites to turn. Up here where Steve,(prev post) and I live we are pretty much limited to the white,yellow hardwoods. You definately want to keep those lines open. :D:D:D

Connections are what make woodturners happy. The more wood, the better. Nice score!

I'm 10 miles N of St Johns and a lil west. Are you a member of the MMWG? I'm planning on attending the next meeting.

No, I belong to the MAW which meets in Holly. We meet the first Sunday of the month from 1-3.

It is a hike but I sure enjoy it.

Let me know if you want to get together sometime.
