    That's some pretty startling curl Garry. So, did you give it to the radio station?

  8. That's a super piece of wood, for sure Garry. Almost looks like glass. Neat story, too.

    Some wonderful curl in that bowl Garry, beautiful. Great story too. If everyone could see something beautiful emerge from an old cracked, weathered chunk of wood firsthand, the world would be full of woodturners.

    I think I'd track those guys down that got the firewood. Beautiful wood and a nice job on it Gary.
