Thread: Tornado Alley finally got me some free wood.

Glad you made it through relatively unscathed!

Good score with the tree! Every cloud has a silver lining as they say.

Glad to here you are ok but getting hit in the head with a golf ball size hail is not what I would think as fun. We get hail in Darwin every now and then but melts before it hits the ground.It is always good to get something good out of a disaster like free wood that you can turn and maybe do something nice like give it people that were effected really bad buy the tornado. were ever the turned items end up they will have a good story to tell. You must send pics

Sounds like you're lucky you've still got a house!!! Good to know you came through OK.
??? Will they insure you guy's living in those tornado prone areas???

Glad all is well with yourself

Hope the Sheriff doesn't mind the sound of chainsaws

Bad luck in one way Ogyt but from what we see on tele over here you are also extremely luck.

Hope it doesn't take too long or cost too much to get back to square one.

Hope you get your gear fixed quickly. And you get get lathe fixed
bye Toni

Ahhh... it's good to be alive in Childress, TX.!!!!

Come on Wheelin - this is Texas we're talking about. The sheriff'll probably think it's just another massacre.


Gaz.

Good to see your sense of humour came through in fine condition, Al. Best wishes.

Joe

Glad you got through more or less intact. And the wood is natures way of making it up to you.

Boy, you guys are really getting hammered over there Al. Floods, tornados, heat waves. You should come & spend some time in the lucky country, although come to think of it, we get all that stuff here too - including the golf ball sized (and bigger) hail stones. Hope the insurance policies are all OK.

Good score with the walnut though - don't get much of that here. What's the saying? "It's an ill wind that blows no-one any good" - or something like that.

Looking forward to the WIP and journal on the great walnut carve up.

Wayne

Thanks for the kind comments, Folks. I do appreciate them.

TTIT, It costs too much for me to afford Insurance. So any damage comes out of my pocket… which is very shallow.

Wheelin, and Gaz, I live just 15 miles NW of the location of that ‘supposed’ “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. It’s just a tale… no truth to it. And the Sheriff is a good bloke, and lives just about 5 miles from that spot, too.

Hughie and Wayne both hit the quote…

Sorry for being out of pocket so much… pulled a muscle in my back while I was working on those window unit air conditioners, and finally went to the doctor this morning.
I will get some pics of that walnut and some of the turnings… but right now I’m under the influence of drugs, so I’d better get outa here.

Hey Al! Good to hear all is well (relatively speaking). Every cloud has a silver (or Walnut) lining, even tornado type clouds. Hope you quickly recover from your back injury.
