Going insane----Pink wood gloat

[Gary Max]

I have no where to stack this----really couldn't afford to buy it.

Box Elder---this wood was cut 5 years ago and is very dry.
Just got it unloaded---the walk ways in the shop are smaller now.
Thought you folks might enjoy a pic of the haul----

 

[Rmartin]

Wow!

I'm quite sure there is more boxelder in the back of your truck than there is in my entire town.

 

[Gary Max]

Right now I am thinking there is going to be a bunch of Box Elder pen blanks listed on Ebay.

 

[wudnhed]

Lucky you!!!!!

Pretty stuff Gary...That's either some mighty big pen blanks or a really lil truck!

 

[markgum]

hmmm I see some Pepper mills, music boxes; weed pots and small boxes there also.
Great haul.

 

[rjwolfe3]

[mickr]

[Woodlvr]

Yes Gary I do! Please send these three defective reddish blocks to me for disposal. Thank you.

I be a test subject if needed:wink:. I would love to know your suppliers.

 

[Gary Max]

Finding the suppliers is only part of the trick----coming up with the cash is the hard part. The only reason I can buy wood like this is the fact that I am a turner.
If I was just resaleing the wood------I wouldn't mess with it.

Nice haul Gary. I took down a box elder on the property line with my neighbour about 4 years ago. Hardly any colouring in it at all. Most wound up as firewood. Since I don't heat the place with it and just have a fireplace to be enjoyed occasionally it has lasted. Cutting it up last year found some really nice spalted stuff that found it's way into pen blanks. With that colouring I can see most of that being turning blanks.

Somebody has got to start following you and finding out where you get all your "stash".

Nice haul with this truck load.

 

[Gary Max]

Fred----They will have to get up early---------you should see the Maple burl I just cut up into pen blanks----it's way to wet to sell.
