I'm in the process of making pullout drawers and shelves for all the cabinets in the kitchen. This hits the spot!Several lifetimes of material for jigs etc there. Good pick up.
Congrats! Most incredible treasure trove! ChuckYesterday a cabinet maker friend of mine says he was moving his shop and had a large load of prefinished Baltic Birch plywood scraps that needed to go to the dump. I told him I'm your dump guy!! This was the first of two loads. Those black bags were full of cutoffs also. There's that old say: One man trash is another...……...

And the today a woodshop teacher called me to come pickup a load of mahogany and maple cutoffs. Said he had more but they shut the school down due to the virus

Been on lockdown here in IL since Saturday afternoon so I thought I'd go to the log pile and get some exercise. Got a half a pickup load of what I thought was all Mulberry, but some is something else.
First photo is what I'm calling mulberry. Heavy logs and bright yellow sawdust. Turns brown with time.
The second and third photos are of the mystery log. Also quite heavy and a darker brown when fresh cut. I've only cut Redbud once, but the bark looks a little like that. Although I remember more purple in the wood.
More of the 2-6" diameter stuff of what I'm calling Mulberry I'll get tomorrow.
P.S. If anyone would care to confirm my id on either log it would be appreciated.

I call that turning blanks!More Walnut dumped off. Hollow center in parts, but if someone with a mill could have gotten to it in log form, I sure they could have salvaged a few BF. Oh well, the guys got to make a living.

A buddy sent me this pic and asked if I wanted it... um yes! I told him I would come cut it but he is home off work and said he would have it all cut down and ready for me to pick up this week. Talk about service!

Cody,
Looks like pine gall rust in Scott's pine...is it.?. Jack pine gets it too. I'd like to buy some big enough to make a sample for the collection if you decide to sell any. Thank you.
Eat the squirrels first. Then pick the mulberries. Eat them for dessert.How on earth do you get to the ripe ones before the squirrels?
