around 10 pices of mapel with flame or silver.(low left)
A very large Chestnut burl (to the low right)
A large Birch burl and 3 small ones(front low)
A Prunus domestica "Syriaca" Burl. fruit tree
and something not commonly seen a Nobilis (:Noble or White Fir) Burl pice.. the guy i got it from have been teaching loggers for 30 years and this is only the second time he has seen or heard of it. the pices are cutoffs from the large burl he made into a bowl. . .

I think TTIT is right, Killer. Enjoy it while you can! When it becomes terminal, it looks like this:

Nice haul KB.
Gloating is OK in Anglo culture; boasting is not.
The Seppos are an exception; they don't know it when they're boasting ;-}
(Excluding the fine N American members of the forum of course; we've resocialised them :wink:.)

How about this.
I bought myself a cube of quarter sawn fiddleback black wood before the Americans came to town and bought up all the fiddleback black wood for musical instruments.
Now I am too scared to cut it up and make stuff with it because its now too expensive.

By golly--must be nice to have a workshop, equipment, and a lumber yard all in ones back yard. Lucky. Other than being dated, I'd never remember which was wet/dry or how long I've had it. And I thought I was doing good with the 5 pieces of log 18 inches long I got last year. And the way it looks, it's gonna get to dry another year.

Yeah, I've relied on memory for identifying some lumps in the 'bank' - big mistake.
I now label and date, and if it's a rough turned bowl, measure and note the moisture level as well.

When I had to sort out Dad's stuff last year I realised I wouldn't have stood a snowflakes chance in hell if he hadn't marked most of it the same way. This way, when I cark it, the Wood club will at least know what they're fighting over :;:U:U:U
