Flaming!!!

[Roger Chandler]

We saved this wood from the firewood pile today....................can you believe it........it was really going to be burned?!!!

Check out the flame in this box elder maple............I have seen pics of some with similar flame figure, but never personally seen anything close to this one!!! A few of our club members showed up in Winchester, Va. to rescue this damsel in distress..........glad we did!

You can see that my big saw and my wood hauler rig worked out very well! I have a feeling we really did overload that thing!

I just wet in my pants. That is the best of the best, and so much of it. Can't wait to see some finished pieces. Also nice saw. Thanks for the look.

Nice score!

[Mike Cruz]

Looks like a great haul of FBE, Roger.

[Steve Doerr]

WOW that is absolutely amazing. I'm veryyyyyyyyyyyy jealous. Can't wait to see all of the neat turnings that come out of that haul.

[Roger Chandler]

Mike.......we cut it for club members......although I do have an entire trailer load .........but a lot of it will go back to the club in a few days......they had to make room for it, so it is on my trailer for now. I get first pick of anything I want.......my efforts were certainly a major contributor in labor and equipment for sure!

[Brian Brown]

Can I join your club? Huh huh can I huh?!

[Mike Cruz]

Roger, you DESERVE the pic of the litter! Cutting that stuff up is hard work. Granted, for the beginning of August it SHOULD have been 95 and humid while you were cutting that up...not 75 and somewhat humid. But it is a lot of work. AND your work isn't over. That stuff needs to be sealed or it will crack and be useless. Cutting is only part of the chore. And with that whole load, I don't envy you! Get the goodest () stuff, drop off the rest, and make somethin' purdy!

That is the general plan Mike! I parked the trailer under the shade this afternoon.......covered it over with a tarp and will try to get a few pieces processed and sealed for my stash tomorrow morning early........the other club members can fight over the rest!

Wish you were nearer, Brian! You would have a blast!

[Robert Speier]

[Bernie Weishapl]
