    Lumber Haul

    Not sure why the picture is upside down, but super excited about this lumber acquisition. Anyone want to take a guess as to the species?

    Be careful when you take a piece off the pile, that it doesn't fall on your head...
    Funny, I don't remember being absent minded...

    If you could take a block plane and knock the exposed material off one end so we could see the end grain we can help more better ;-)
