Thread: Wood collecting is a disease

Okay, I'm jealous!

Yes, Its a disease.

And you catch it from these forums....

Your all infected.

I agree it is a disease, but you do not have to keep all of them. Part of the cure is with sharing.

I agree, the easiest way to get rid of a cold is to go to work and give it to someone else.
Same thing applies with timber hoarding.

Share it around and you'll feel better, I guarantee it.

Willi, let me know if I can help!

I must admit - I "caught it" a few moons ago! - Loverly Haul!!

Head to Ebay or If they have an Auction process here and get it moved! - You wife will love you for it! Valentines day soon??

Lucky, lucky man Willy!

Good onya Willy>

Wtsh there were more diseases as pleasurable!!

I'll be over in Perth in about a month - I'll gladly take a couple of pieces off your hands - in order to help with the cure as I am, of course, only thinking of your wellbeing!

Wow
What a lot of generous people! I am overwhelmed with offers to rid myself of this affliction. Thank you all.

I shall now contemplate who are the most worthy recipients and burden them with my disease.

Cheers

Despite not really needing any more Jarrah burl, I got offered this lot at a price I couldn't walk away from, plus there was some Blackbutt burl as well, which I have never turned.
Seems like for every 50 platters I turn, I end up buying, cutting or get given 100 burl blanks.

hi willy,

can help out in any way!!!!!!!!
i hope you get well soon
cheers smiife

Ah, Willy, settle down. You're not suffering from any sort of dementia except a bad case of Gloat. Be grateful for the economic value of the wood pile that seems to stream into your place. Please do show us a couple of projects some day.

For years, I have carved little else except what I see in chunks of Western Red Cedar. Sometimes that happens in a minute or less, other times, it takes months to "see" it. Never know what to expect. So, as you might imagine, I have WRC log chunks and 20+cm logs stacked all over the place, indoors and out. Where I live, it's abundant, good carving wood and free. If I tidy up a pile that has avalanched in the back yard and find a dog underneath, I'll quit.

So, you see, we're normal. Nobody will take us away.
