Hi gang,
On March 29 I asked a question about Flame Box Elder. I thank those who answered. I did go back and pick up the rest of the wood that showed some flame, brought it home and cut up 2 of the 8 pieces.
Some of the the flaming is only skin deep, but some of the blanks I was able to cut have some awesome coloring. So much so that I took the best looking blank to the nuke oven. On the second time in the oven, I didn't notice that the power dial had slid to HIGH.
Now I know why this stuff is called Flame Box Elder. Boy did I catch hell when the smoke alarms started going off on the main floor.
I really wish I had a stand alone shop. It took almost 4 hours with a fan in the basement window to get the smoke and smell out, but I'm still in the doghouse.
Thanks for reading. When I turn something from this wood, I'll post a picture.
