Yup Ernis stopped by today-----he's getting the hang of making freinds--here's a pic of the lumber he brought Margie and the trunk load of blanks he hauled home with him. Margie is happy and you know the saying "When SWMBO is happy---everyone is glad."

Well I finally made it home. Had to stop twice to throw up on the side of the road. Also had to wait on the fire department to put out a car fire on the interstate. That baby was charcoal!!

Some people think that's not a lot of wood. But you can fit four dead body's in the trunk of the caddy.:eek: Not to mention what was in the back seat of the car. Felt like a low rider going home.

Yup--she is awesome. I have been watching her grow up for the last 10 years. What most folks don't understand ---that's a burl. No matter what the wood inside looks like. I have one in my shop the is rotten and hollow---you couldn't get one pen blank out of it----it's still a burl.

In this part of the world most burls are either rotten or ate up by bugs. Finding one that is good and solid if very cool. I could cut up the rotten one but there would really be no point in making smaller pieces of worthless wood.
