Look At What I Found

[bruce119]

I was out making my rounds looking for wood. Took a chance and drove down a hick road and stumbled across this. At first I didn't realize what I found. I figured it was some thing good the way the wood was cut and lined up. I found out it was Norfolk Island Pine. I'm just a pen maker so it didn't hit me rite away.

Any way seems like quite a find. It looks like a wood worker must have lived hear and left it abandon. I am going to collect it and bring it home. Perhaps I could offer it to some others in the area for a small fee or trade. It appears to be in fairly good shape. Looks like it's been there a wile well seasoned a little buggy but not bad. Look at the one that is on it's side that's the side that was on the ground and I put a bucket in for scale. They are about 30" across. I counted over 30 of them and more smaller ones in the pile.

These trees are very common. I see them every ware in peoples yards.

So do you think I should collect them. I plan on joining a local wood working club in January. This should make me pretty popular.

Too bad, I was down in your area in June. I'd have been knocking on your door if you found this 6 months ago.

I think I will grab it. It's only a mile away and I got a truck []

A lot of it is way to big to ship so it would have to be local pick-up. But there are smaller ones in there some ware. When I get it sorted out I will offer what I can []

It will be a little work moveing it but should be worth it. It will get me a good start with the club. Too bad I don't turn bowls I just got a 14" metal lathe. And can't even think about getting something bigger. I should be able to do some good trading with the other club members.

I am not interested in wood (well that's problem my yards allready full of wood) I like looking at and collecting wood tooooo much [B)]

So I will stack it in the back and it will go I'm sure [][]

There are some bugs and termites doesn't look real bad. I know with my pen blanks I think the worm holes and such make it better.

Bruce, did you pick up any of that pile?

Did you get my PM? I would be very interested in some of that.
